Over 50s intern for new careers
*******************************
To encourage the latent work force to enter the labour market, the Employees Retraining Board’s Post-50 Internship Programme assists individuals aged 50 or above by equipping them with new skills to re-enter the workforce or change careers.
About 800 people have signed up for the programme in the 2023-24 year, with about 150 participants being offered internships and joining experience activities.
News.gov.hk spoke to some of the participants to find out how they have benefited from programme.
