Introduction
The Hong Kong PHAB Association Jockey Club Collaborative Project for Inclusive Employment is funded by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust. We provides employment preparation for people with disabilities and special educational needs, including career assessment, training workshops, job placement services and job opportunities. The project also offers workplace inclusion support for businesses and organizations, encouraging employers to hire people with disabilities and promoting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive work environment. Additionally, the project has established the PHAB Hub – an inclusive shared space – to encourage people with disabilities unleash their potential, expand their social networks, and explore diverse employment possibilities.
