HONG KONG SAR – , said, “Since the GBA development framework was announced in 2017, economic policies and infrastructure projects implemented have brought much closer the cooperation among Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. At present, there are more than 85,100 residents from Hong Kong and Macao that have registered for employment in Guangdong. If Hong Kong is to reap the full benefit, it is vital that our next generation gains first-hand understanding of the whole GBA economy’s breadth and depth. As a large private sector employer in the GBA, we are glad to see that Hong Kong university students are open-minded about career opportunities in the region. GBA is a focus of HSBC’s growth strategy in Asia. We are committed to building a sustainable talent pipeline and supporting the future development of the GBA.”
In response to the study, Angela Ngai Mei-mui, Deputy Executive Director of the HKFYG, suggested companies to open up more opportunities for internships and consider job rotations between the GBA cities to increase their competitiveness. This would not only strengthen the practical skills of young people within a profession, but also facilitate talent mobility. She also recommended building online learning platforms to cover the five core skillsets and personality traits essential for employment in the GBA. In the long run, these courses should be mutually recognised by Hong Kong and the Mainland to ensure quality control and encourage participation. Furthermore, the study also suggested the need to integrate the concept of career pathways in the GBA into life-planning education for young people in Hong Kong. Through company and factory visits, alongside job shadowing, NGOs can support young people to learn about emerging opportunities in the GBA at an earlier age.
