Employees Retraining Board

Job referral Service for Employers

Apart from the provision of training, the Employees Retraining Board (ERB) also assists full-time graduate trainees to seek for job opportunities through the placement service units of relevant training bodies offering the courses. These placement service units of training bodies, as coordinated by the Placement Services Section of the ERB, will normally provide a 3-month post-training follow-up and support services including job counselling and job referral assistance to their trainees.

The Manpower Development Scheme (MDS) is featured by its placement-tied and employment-oriented approach in the provision of training and employment assistance. As such, the support of employers in recruiting suitable graduate trainees is crucial to the success of the MDS. As employers, you are welcome to make good use of the free recruitment service of the ERB to meet your manpower requirements.

You can simply complete the Vacancy Registration Form and return it to the ERB or the placement service units of training bodies, then you are entitled to access the recruitment service offered by the ERB and its training bodies. Upon registration, the placement officers concerned will try their very best to match suitable trainees in accordance with your specified job requirements.

Computer Job Matching

To facilitate effective job matching, the ERB has developed a dedicated computer networking system which allows for efficient exchange of vacancy information between job-seeking trainees and prospective employers. The ERB’s computer network has also linked up with that of the Job Centres of the Labour Department since 2001 so that job vacancies information is communicated to each other in a speedy manner.
