Correctional Services Department
Since its establishment, the Team has been working closely with NEC supporting organisations and schools to organise activities tailor-made for NEC youths such as recruitment information booths and talks. In addition, the Team is committed to implementing “Project Nova”, by which various activities, including life planning workshops, visits to the Hong Kong Correctional Services Academy, physical fitness training classes and interview skill workshops, are organised with the aim of assisting NEC youths in developing positive values and planning their life paths. Moreover, recommendations would be given to NEC youths on job searching during face-to-face exchanges to increase their motivation in joining the disciplined services, which in turn enables them to contribute to society.
The activities organised under the project are systematically divided into three stages, namely Soul-searching, Application and Employment. The Soul-searching stage targets NEC youths who have not yet decided on their way forward. During the Application stage, tailor-made quality training is provided to NEC youths to help them prepare for the upcoming recruitment procedures of CSD posts. The final Employment stage is specially designed for NEC youths who are recruited as staff members of CSD. These staff then share their own experiences with the later joined NEC youths in “Project Nova” to reinforce their sense of belonging to CSD and help attract more NEC youths to join the department.
With a view to encouraging more NEC youths with diverse backgrounds to join the disciplined services as well as further promoting diversity and inclusion in the workplace, the Team has collaborated with various religious organisations. It actively approached the Incorporated Trustees of the Islamic Community Fund of Hong Kong and the Khalsa Diwan Sikh Temple to explore opportunities for collaboration. To help NEC youths gain a preliminary understanding of CSD, the Team displayed recruitment banners and distributed leaflets at mosques and temples. Furthermore, to let NEC youths gain a deeper understanding of the mission and duties of CSD, the Team recently set up recruitment booths at the Sikh Temple, Kowloon Mosque and Ammar Mosque. NEC staff from different institutions and sections were invited to share their personal working experiences and answer inquiries from NEC youths who were interested. Numerous NEC youths visited the booth and overwhelming responses were received.
CSD will keep promoting the project by collaborating with different organisations and schools with a high proportion of NEC students to assist NEC youths in developing their career paths and to get well prepared for joining law enforcement agencies.
