To strengthen the connection and exchange between talent and the local community and people from all walks of life, Hong Kong Talent Engage (HKTE) launched the Talent⁺ Volunteer Programme via a ceremony today.

HKTE will serve as the co-ordinator of the programme and work closely with the Agency for Volunteer Service (AVS) and various non-governmental organisations, designated partners and corporations to provide diverse volunteer service opportunities for talent, enabling them to contribute to society by making full use of their expertise and interests.

While addressing those gathered at the ceremony, Secretary for Labour & Welfare Chris Sun explained that the programme's aim is to connect talent with the community by showcasing their care and concern to the community through volunteer work.

He added that the Government hopes incoming talent can deepen their understanding of the community and enhance communication with local people by participating in volunteer services.

Mr Sun further said that the programme can help them expand their social networks and better integrate into Hong Kong, contributing to the community while living and working in harmony and satisfaction.

To capitalise on the expertise and skills of volunteers, the AVS's volunteer services range from community services to support for international and mega events.
