The Re-employment Allowance Pilot Scheme (REA Sheme) Job Fair will be held at MacPherson Stadium in Mong Kok tomorrow and Wednesday, the Labour Department announced today.

The fair will feature over 3,300 job vacancies from across various industries. The vacancies will be aimed particularly at middle-aged and elderly job seekers.

About 50 organisations, offering vacancies across catering, retail, hotel, air freight and transport industries, will participate in the fair. Around 20 to 30 organisations will set up booths and conduct on-the-spot recruitment.

The roles being hired for include business development manager, engineer, administration officer, clerk, cook, food and beverage service attendant, enrolled nurse, school bus attendant, programmer, packer, customer service assistant, station assistant, security officer, and technician.

Around 88% of the vacancies are for full-time jobs, with most offering monthly salaries ranging from $11,000 to $24,000. About 93% of the vacancies require a Secondary Seven education level or below, and about 64% are open to people without relevant work experience.

The job fair will be held from 11am to 5.30pm and admission is free. Job seekers can submit applications on-site and may be selected for on-the-spot interviews.

A kick-off ceremony for the REA Scheme will be held at 2.30pm on July 30 and designated booths will be set up for job seekers to learn more about it.
