Workplace Immersion 2024

This is the thirteenth year that the LR has partnered with the Junior Achievement Hong Kong to organise the Workplace Immersion Day (previously known as Job Shadow Day) for secondary school students.

The programme was conducted on 8 July 2024 for 17 students from Po Leung Kuk Laws Foundation College. The students were guided by our workplace mentors to work in different units of our office. The activities enabled the students to gain a better understanding of the real life working environment and to give reflections of their career aspirations.

The students shared that the work attachment was a very good experience to them. They had more understanding of the job nature and work challenge of the department.

Students Internship Schemes

As a caring organisation which fosters equal opportunities for employees and actively works to eliminate discrimination in the workplace, we participated in the 2024 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 2024 and Internship Programme for Non-ethnic Chinese Students 2024, both aiming at assisting students to acquire work experience.

A total of eight undergraduates joined us in various Divisions during their internship from June to August 2024. They were arranged to work in an office environment and assigned a variety of tasks, which aimed at expanding their horizon and deepening their understanding of the operation of the registry. The internship placement affirmed all students with invaluable and practical work experience that builds confidence and prepares them for a rewarding career ahead.
