The North West Hong Kong BN(O) Welcome Hub is happy to announce that applications for Phase 3 of our flagship employment programme – HK Pathways – are now open!
Phase 3 of HK Pathways – North West Employment Advice and Support Programme will see support for BN(O) visa holders in the North West continue for an additional 10-months, 4-months longer than the previous Phase 1 and Phase 2.
£75,000 is available per lot area for providers to deliver a programme to support BN(O) visa holders with their employability and to fundamentally support more BN(O) visa holders into work.
Phase 1 and Phase 2 of HK Pathways has seen a number of great successes with hundreds of BN(O) visa holders supported and large numbers being supported into employment, volunteering or further skills support. There has also been a lot of learning from Phase 1 and Phase 2 and this learning is outlined in the below Guidance and Application Form document.
