Together, We Fight the Virus!
Our colleagues continued to work with dedication to support the Government’s anti-epidemic work.
In addition to those who were previously deployed to the Contact Tracing Office and Call Operation Centre, colleagues from different offices and grades have teamed up to support the restriction-testing declaration operations and enforcement operations on compulsory testing notice on ad hoc basis.
Up to December 2022, they have taken part in a total of 13 operations. Despite the great challenge encountered in the operations, our colleagues demonstrated their great determination and commitment to the combat against the epidemic.
Students Internship Schemes
As a caring organisation of promoting equal opportunities for employees and eliminating discrimination in the workplace, we participated in the 2022 Internship Scheme for Students with Disabilities organised by the Civil Service Bureau. We also offered internship placements under the Post-Secondary Student Summer Internship Programme with a view to helping students to gain work experience.
A total of seven undergraduates joined our Legal Services Division, Search and Departmental Services Division and General Support Services Division during their summer vacation from June to August 2022. They were arranged to work in a real office setting and assigned a wide range of tasks to broaden their horizon and enrich their practical skills.
When asked about their takeaway during the internship, they all agreed that the scheme had offered them valuable hands-on work experience and job-related skills, which were useful for building up their self-confidence and further developing good vision for a brighter future.
