The Hong Kong Monetary Authority and the banking industry jointly launched the Banking Talent Program to provide 300 openings in areas ranging from front-line operations to back-office functions in retail and commercial banking for fresh graduates from local universities. Work opportunities will be offered by banks, stored value facilities operators, together with the HKMA. Six-month work opportunities and industry-specific training will be offered. The HKMA will reimburse participating firms up to 50 percent of the monthly salary of program participants, which is HK$12,000 per month, and subsidize the course fees. Students graduating with a bachelor’s degree in 2020 from local universities may apply from June 15.
