Have you heard of the
Employment Programme for the Elderly and Middle-aged (EPEM)? This programme is provided by the Labour Department. Job seekers aged 40 or above and have an unemployment period of not less than 1 month within 1 year prior to the commencement date of employment are eligible for this programme.
Eligible job seekers will be engaged in full-time or part-time (i.e. working 18 hours to less than 30 hours per week) permanent jobs. They will be provided with on-the-job training recognised by the Labour Department. Job seekers will not only secure stable employment, but also acquire essential job-specific skills.
No prior registration under EPEM is required. Relevant registration can be made when job seekers have secured full-time or part-time permanent employment from vacancies registered at the Labour Department. For further enquiries, please contact EPEM Hotline 2150 6398. For latest vacancy information,
