New Initiatives to Strengthen Civil Service Induction Training
Colleagues on 2022 Honours List
Appointment of Senior Civil Servants
Civil Service Bureau
Starting from July 2022, the Civil Service College (CSC) has further strengthened induction training for new recruits and advanced training for officers upon confirmation to the permanent establishment to ensure their accurate understanding of the constitutional order of the HKSAR at an early stage of their career, as well as to enhance their sense of national identity and self-awareness of safeguarding national security and upholding the civil service’s core values in discharging their duties, so as to support the HKSAR Government in achieving smooth governance and steadfastly implementing “One Country, Two Systems”.
The above training for civil servants covers the necessary topics that all civil servants (regardless of their B/Ds) shall accurately understand, including the principle of “One Country, Two Systems”, the Constitution, the Basic Law, the Hong Kong National Security Law, the national system and important policies, as well as the civil service’s core values and public service culture. The training attendance requirements are as follows:
CSB issued an email to all Permanent Secretaries and all Heads of Department in late June to appeal for B/Ds’ staunch support of the initiative, and to request them to actively arrange for their new recruits to attend the relevant programmes. CSB also encourages B/Ds to review and strengthen their own induction training for staff to ensure that the contents will keep pace with the times and meet the latest job requirements of their respective positions.
