Gov't expands talent list to 51 professions

The updated list would help the government meet its target of bringing in 35,000 professionals.

The government expanded the number of professions included in its Talent List to fifty-one from thirteen to attract more professionals to come and meet the city's development needs.

The updated list sorted the added professions under nine industry segments -- business support; creative industries; arts and culture; performing arts; development and construction; environmental technology services; financial services; healthcare services; innovation and technology; legal and dispute resolution services; and maritime services.

The government would apply the updated list immediately to the Quality Migrant Admission Scheme, the General Employment Policy, and the Admission Scheme for Mainland Talents & Professionals.

Secretary for Labour and Welfare Chris Sun said that the updated talent list would help the Government meet its target of attracting at least 35,000 professionals into Hong Kong this year.
