With the advent of 5G, having digital skills is growing in importance, especially for young people and their employability. However, knowledge alone is not always enough and having the opportunity for training and gaining experience are what will make the difference.

By helping to create 12-month, full-time jobs in the telecommunications sector, TOP ensures that young people with get the extensive training required to make them more competitive in the work place, while also nurturing talents for the industry.
Opportunities include positions for software programmers, assistant engineers, and sales and marketing trainees, among others. With a monthly salary subsidy provided by the Government under the Job Creation Scheme funded by the Anti-epidemic Fund, young people have a real chance of building up their skills. Participants must hold a Hong Kong identity card; be over 18 years old; have an accredited certificate, diploma or degree; and have no more than five years of work experience. New and to-be graduates are also encouraged to take advantage of this offering.
