Students Internship Schemes
As a caring organisation which promotes equal opportunities for employees and eliminates discrimination in the workplace, we participated in the 2023 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 2023 and Internship Programme for Non-ethnic Chinese Students 2023, both aiming at helping students to gain work experience.
A total of eight undergraduates joined us in various Divisions during their internship from June to August 2023. They were arranged to work in an office setting and tasked with a diverse range of tasks to broaden their horizon and enhance their understanding of the operation of the registry. The internship placement affirmed all students with invaluable and practical work experience that fosters confidence and preparedness for a promising career outlook.
Business-School Partnership Programme
We participated in the Business-School Partnership Programme launched by the Education Bureau. The Programme aims at promoting better co-operation and closer alliances between the business sector and schools and providing students with opportunities to gain wider perspective of the world and get prepared for life in society.
On 6 July 2023, a half-day workplace visit was organised for students from Salem-Immanuel Lutheran College under the Programme. Apart from visit to various operational sections of the Land Registry, they also participated in career talk and sharing session to learn more about the operation of the department. The students expressed that the visit was useful and helped them plan their future study and career.
Land Registry Volunteer Work
Preparation of Meal Boxes for People in Need of Food Assistance
On 17 June 2023, 19 volunteers led by the Land Registrar participated in a food rescue and assistance programme organised by Food Angel, to promote food-wise culture and share their love by preparing meal boxes for the people in need.
In the event, our volunteers demonstrated a strong team spirit to pack over 6,300 nutritious and hot meal boxes in three hours at the Food Angel kitchen. The meal boxes would then be redistributed to the underprivileged communities in Hong Kong.
Toy Reborn Engineer - Give New Life to Second-hand Toys for Underprivileged Children
On 7 October 2023, our volunteer team took part in the “Toy Reborn Engineer” programme organised by YMCA of Hong Kong. To give the second-hand toys a new life, 17 dedicated volunteers heartily sorted, repaired and cleaned the toys before donating to the children in low income families.
This heartwarming voluntary service had not only contributed positively to our environment by reducing waste and promoting recycling but also brought joy and happiness to those children in need.
