Lingnan and the Civil Service Bureau co-organise the first Government Career Fair

Lingnan University and the Civil Service Bureau of the Hong Kong SAR Government jointly organised the first Government Career Fair on the Lingnan campus on 29 September, with 20 exhibition booths, bringing together over 15 government bureaux and departments — including the Digital Policy Office, the Education Bureau, the disciplined services and the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, totalling over 30 civil service grades. Recruitment activities were held alongside career talks, on-site interviews, and written examinations, helping students gain a deeper understanding of the career development opportunities available across different government grades.
