"Be a Government Official for a Day" Programme 2019 – Heads of Departments Edition
The Land Registry had participated in the "Be a Government Official for a Day" Programme 2019 – Heads of Departments Edition under the Life Buddies Mentoring Scheme, which was coordinated by the Commission on Poverty. The programme offered an opportunity for selected students to shadow a senior government official on the job for a day to gain hands-on experience of the official's work and a better understanding of the Government's operation.
A student from Po Leung Kuk Wu Chung College and another student from Christian and Missionary Alliance Sun Kei Secondary School were matched to shadow the Land Registrar (LR) on 18 July 2019. The students showed great interest in LR’s work and our services. A sharing session was also held on 23 August 2019 to serve as the conclusion of the programme for participants to share their takeaways and reflections.
Life Buddies Mentoring Scheme – Job Tasting Programme
The Land Registry has continued to participate in the “Life Buddies Mentoring Scheme – Job Tasting Programme” this year to support nurturing of youth for upward mobility. The Scheme is launched by the Human Resources Planning and Poverty Co-ordination Unit of the Chief Secretary for Administration’s Private Office.
On 10 and 11 July 2019, students from SKH Lam Woo Memorial Secondary School, having visited various work units of the Land Registry, were guided by the mentors to work in different workplaces. The students had undertaken real-life work and obtained career information of the Land Registry through the two-day job tasting programme, which helped broaden their exposure and career planning. They expressed that the programme was very fruitful and they gained valuable insights regarding the real work environment. The students also appreciated the support and guidance of their mentors during the programme.
Post-Secondary Student Summer Internship Programme 2019
To enhance students’ understanding of our work, the Land Registry has participated in the Post-Secondary Student Summer Internship Programme 2019 by offering internship places to two undergraduate interns respectively in the Search and Departmental Services Division (SDSD) and Legal Services Division during the summer vacation. By giving them an opportunity to work in their field of studies and interests, the interns had gained valuable work experience in the Land Registry and knowledge about the work of the Government, which helped broadening their exposure and development of their future career.
2019 Internship Scheme for Students with Disabilities and Sunnyway - On the Job Training Programme for Young People with Disabilities
As a caring organisation committed to providing equal opportunities for employees and eliminating discrimination in the workplace, the Land Registry has participated in the 2019 Internship Scheme for Students with Disabilities, which is organised by the Civil Service Bureau. We have also joined the Sunnyway Programme, which is organised by the Social Welfare Department, for the twelfth year.
For the 2019 Internship Scheme for Students with Disabilities, we offered internship places to two undergraduate interns respectively in the SDSD and the General Support Services Division during the summer vacation. Another intern assisted in the work relating to the owners’ corporation services in the SDSD from October to December. We also offered a training placement to a trainee in our Central Imaging Centre from August to November under the Sunnyway Programme.
Through working in a real life work environment, with the support and guidance from our experienced colleagues, the interns and trainee had acquired useful hands-on work experience and job-related skills in real office setting, which were useful for building up their self-confidence and developing good work habits and employment skills for enhancing their employability in the future.
