Jobs for Hongkongers
Growth company is funded by WMSMP to deliver an employability programme for Hongkongers based in England, alongside Groundwork UK and the Migrant and Refugee Centre.
Jobs for Hongkongers aims to help Hong Kong BN(O) visa holders find sustainable and meaningful employment. It will do so through an 8-week course designed to improve participants’ employability. The course will be delivered virtually or remotely and in the Cantonese language, ensuring that all those who require support can access it.

We are currently in discussions with various internal partners about further resources and support that could be made available.
Please get in touch with the team by emailing hongkongbno@warwickshire.gov.uk if you have any specific questions or if you’d like to put us in touch with a potential employer.
