A new three-year large-scale recruitment programme by China Resources Group aim by the end of this year to recruit 1,000 new employees from Hong Kong, and reach their target of 2,000 new Hong Kong employees by 2022. The recruitment programme will open for application from Wednesday, 28 October, onwards. China Resources Group is hoping to recruit and invest more in outstanding Hong Kong talent via this recruitment plan.
The recruitment programme will initially seek applicants for 400 management trainee (MT) positions and 600 vacancies that will be placed in the Group’s headquarters and various profit centres. The MT positions are open to Hong Kong residents who are university graduates in 2019 and 2020, and for those graduating in 2021. More than 70% of all positions are based in Hong Kong, while more than 200 positions are based in the Greater Bay Area.
Wang Xiang-ming, Chairman, China Resources Group, "The Greater Bay Area provides Hong Kong with a broader platform for development. The newly announced Shenzhen reform measures have opened up a new area of cooperation between the two cities. Hong Kong should utilise its unique advantages to support growth and create a win-win situation with the larger Greater Bay Area. Specifically, there is an opportunity to work closely with Shenzhen in creating a "dual city economy", both cities acting as a double engine to drive the development of the Greater Bay Area."
Applicants of this recruitment programme are expected to come from a wide variety of background so as to create a more diversified organisation. For management trainees, there are positions available in the company’s financial, real estate, pharmaceuticals, legal, design and other sectors, of which local talents are known to excel in. Some of the other positions are to support the company’s future business needs, such as life sciences, semiconductors, innovation technologies and materials science.
Dr Lee Hoey Simon, Director and Secretary General Resources Group, Guangdong/Hong Kong/Macao/Greater Bay Area China said, “Our Management Trainee recruitment programme aims to nurture management talents and business elites, preparing them for the group’s future development. We have in place a comprehensive three-year training plan for our MTs, which include skill set development, growth acceleration program, and leadership training. We hope to develop these outstanding talents into management elites within three to five years with our systematic training plan.”
Wang added, "China Resources has been deeply rooted in Hong Kong for more than 80 years. Hong Kong has experienced many challenges in the past, but we overcame them and emerged even stronger. China Resources has confidence in Hong Kong’s growth prospects. We are launching this three-year large-scale recruitment programme, Join Us And Strive For A Brighter Future, to meet the group’s strategies and the needs of the core business units’ development, as well as to reserve and nurture more outstanding talents for the future. This programme also helps to relieve unemployment and fulfil our corporate social responsibilities."
