2020 Post-Secondary Student Summer Internship Programme

Period of Internship: July to August 2020 (around 2 months)\r\n\r\nSuccessful interns will be engaged on non-civil service terms and will be required to work 44 hours per week. The actual hours of work may vary depending on operational needs. Overtime work, if necessary, will be compensated by time-off in lieu.\r\n

HK$10,500 per month

Rest days, statutory holidays (or substituted holidays), sick leave, sickness allowance, where appropriate, will be granted with the provisions of the Employment Ordinance.

(a) Summer interns must be permanent residents of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region at the time of appointment unless specified otherwise.
(b) As an Equal Opportunities Employer, the Government is committed to eliminating discrimination in employment. The vacancy advertised is open to all applicants meeting the basic entry requirements irrespective of their disability, sex, marital status, pregnancy, age, family status, sexual orientation and race.
(c) Summer interns are not posts on the civil service establishment. Students appointed are not on civil service terms of appointment and conditions of service. Candidates appointed are not civil servants and will not be eligible for posting, promotion or transfer to any posts in the Civil Service.
(d) The entry pay, terms of appointment and conditions of service to be offered are subject to the provisions prevailing at the time the offer of appointment is made.
(e) Where a large number of candidates meet the specified entry requirements, the recruiting department may devise shortlisting criteria to select the better qualified candidates for further processing. In these circumstances, only shortlisted candidates will be invited to attend the interview.
(f) It is Government policy to place people with a disability in appropriate jobs wherever possible. If a disabled candidate meets the entry requirements, he / she will be invited to attend the selection interview without being subject to further shortlisting. Applicants who have declared disabilities found suitable for appointment may be given an appropriate degree of preference over other applicants whose suitability for appointment is considered comparable to that of the former. The Government policy and other related measures on employment of persons with disabilities are set out in the booklet “Employ People Based on Their Abilities – Application for Government Jobs by Persons with Disabilities” which is available for reference on the Civil Service Bureau’s website at www.csb.gov.hk under “Administration of the Civil Service – Appointments”.
