     The Secretary for the Civil Service, Mrs Ingrid Yeung, met with a delegation led by the Secretary of the Party Committee of Huaqiao University, Professor Xu Xipeng, at the Central Government Offices this morning (January 26) to exchange views on strengthening the publicising of information related to civil service recruitment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government to Hong Kong students studying at the university.
 
     Mrs Yeung said that as more and more Hong Kong students opt for the Mainland to further their studies, government departments have stepped up their publicity and recruitment drives on the Mainland targeting Hong Kong students, and have organised recruitment talks to introduce the work of different grades in the HKSAR Government.
 
     At the meeting, the Director of General Grades of the Civil Service Bureau (CSB), Mr Hermes Chan, introduced the CSB’s General Grades Office Recruitment Centre which commenced operation in October last year, and gave an account of the progress on the year-round recruitment for three grades – Clerical Officer, Clerical Assistant and Personal Secretary.
 
     Mrs Yeung visited a number of universities on the Mainland last September, including the Xiamen campus of Huaqiao University. She met and exchanged views with university staff and organised recruitment talks for Hong Kong students to brief them on the different job opportunities provided by the HKSAR Government to young people.
