The Social Welfare Department launched the Navigation Scheme for Young Persons in Care Services in July 2015, providing a total of 1,000 training places starting from 2015-16. It aims at providing opportunities of employment and training, including a two-year part-time course under government subsidy, for young people who are interested to work in the elderly and rehabilitation care services, so that they may develop their profession along an established career path through on-the-job training.
