GBA Work Experience Attachment Programme

WEP offers workplace attachment in the Greater Bay Area (GBA) Mainland cities for young people aged between 18 and 29, with educational attainment at sub-degree level or below, enabling participants to gain experience on the living culture and work environment in the GBA.  The programme includes

1. 2-day preparatory training;
2. 1-month workplace attachment in the GBA;
3. weekend activities;
4. immediate support services during the course of workplace attachment in the GBA; and
5. Mainland career advisory services.

There is no employer and employee relationship between participants and the host organisations.  Participants are eligible for training or workplace attachment allowance upon completion of Preparatory Training*, workplace attachment in GBA* and participating in Weekend Activities.  (* with an attendance of 80% or above)

Host Organisations will assign experienced staff member as mentor to assist trainees in understanding daily work and related work knowledge, so as to better adapt to the working environment in the GBA.  In addition, mentor will offer guidance in the daily work and provide appropriate advice and counselling when necessary.  The service provider, the Hong Kong Employment Development Service (HKEDS), will arrange different types of weekend activities during the workplace attachment in the GBA, allowing trainees to gain a better understanding of living and cultural experience in the GBA.

Free of charge.

• Free transportation to and from Hong Kong and the GBA Mainland cities will be provided to participants for reporting duty and the return trip led by the service provider as well as weekend activities.  Free accommodation will be provided to participants during the course of the workplace attachment in the GBA.
• No deposit or administrative fees required.

Other than the 1-month workplace attachment in the GBA, WEP offers a range of activities such as:

• Recruitment Day: The service provider, HKEDS, will introduce WEP, the eligibility criteria and conduct on-the-spot interviews with interested trainees or young people.
• 2-day Preparatory Training: To prepare trainees before workplace attachment commences, including information on the host organisations, job duties, living and working in the GBA, etc.
• Opening session.
• Weekend activities during the course of workplace attachment in the GBA.

Since the service provider, HKEDS, will have to inform all participating trainees details of the GBA attachment, regulations on accommodation, points to note for living in the GBA, etc., participating trainees are required to attend the 2-day preparatory training in Hong Kong prior to departure to better prepare for the 1-month workplace attachment in the GBA.
