My career at Christian Action began in 1987 with a heavy focus on job training and placements. At first, it was for Vietnamese refugees, then for Hong Kong’s factory workers. Since 1994, Christian Action has been an official partner of the Employees Retraining Board (ERB). We aim to enhance the employability of Hong Kong’s unemployed through vocational training, and therefore help them re-enter the workforce.
In October 2019, ERB launched the Love Upgrading Special Scheme. It was commissioned by the Government to support those who were out of work. This new scheme has expanded its target and now includes those who are underemployed or required to take no-pay leave due to Hong Kong’s economic downturn. Since the programme began, Christian Action has offered 88 courses, covering different industries and areas of vocational skills, such as electrical and mechanical services, beauty therapy and social services.
