As one of the core sectors of Hong Kong’s vibrant creative industries, the
digital entertainment (DE) industry has been changing rapidly in the past few
years. DE companies are more and more technology driven. The prevalence
of social media and mobile platforms have driven new way of operation and
development. It is not easy for companies to recruit new talents who can meet
their technical needs and cope with the new business environment. On the
other hand, it is also getting more and more difficult for fresh graduates to get
a job in the industry since they normally lack the relevant trade experience
which is an essential requirement by many DE companies.
The Hong Kong Digital Entertainment Association (HKDEA, the Organizer) is
pleased to launch the 2nd Hong Kong Digital Entertainment Industry Fresh
Graduate Support Scheme (Support Scheme) with staunch support and
generous sponsorship from Create Hong Kong (CreateHK) of the Government
of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
The Support Scheme has
the following objectives:
-
-
To subsidize and encourage local digital entertainment companies to
employ and train fresh graduates and nurture the latter to become
new blood of the industry;
-
-
To facilitate local fresh graduates in reaching potential employers for
entering into the industry and be advised of the prospects in the
digital entertainment industry; and
-
-
To foster the development of the digital entertainment industry with
more abundant supply of digital talents working in the industry.
