Workforce Development Programs Support Job and Talent Market in Causeway Bay
Centres and schemes along Hennessy Road deliver training that connects workers and young people to employment opportunities.
How we reported this

The Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions Occupational Retraining Centre at 5/F, Eastern Commercial Centre, 397 Hennessy Road supplies workforce development services in Causeway Bay.
These services sit alongside other local efforts that help residents build skills for available roles. The presence of dedicated facilities on the same major road allows workers to access multiple options without leaving the district.
Training Centres Along Hennessy Road
The HKCSS Institute runs talent development programs for NGO agency heads and senior management at Hysan Place, 500 Hennessy Road. These programs focus on leadership and management skills needed in the non-government sector. The Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions Occupational Retraining Centre operates from the Eastern Commercial Centre further along the same road, offering retraining that targets practical workforce needs. Together the two addresses give Causeway Bay residents direct points of contact for different stages of career development.
Youth Training and Industry Schemes
The Labour Department’s Youth Employment and Training Programme provides pre-employment and on-the-job training to young people across Hong Kong. In Causeway Bay this programme operates alongside the Skills Upgrading Scheme, which covers 23 industries and offers over 500 courses. The scheme has already benefited more than 140,000 workers and has held skills showcase carnivals in the district to improve trainee employability. These activities give young participants and existing workers clearer routes into local jobs.
Co-working Facilities for New Work Patterns
The Work Project maintains co-working space in Midtown Soundwill Plaza II at Causeway Bay. The facility is designed to support the future workforce by providing flexible environments that match changing job requirements. Its location within the district adds another practical option for people combining training with freelance or project-based work.
Residents interested in these opportunities can contact the listed centres directly or visit the Labour Department resources for enrolment details on the Youth Employment and Training Programme and the Skills Upgrading Scheme.
