Promoting Workplace Diversity
The Jockey Club Collaborative Project for Inclusive Employment encourages job opportunities for all and highlights the importance of workplace inclusion
02 July 2025
Despite their diverse talents and skills, persons with disabilities (PWDs) – whether physical, sensory, learning or intellectual – often face challenges when seeking employment. This may be due to workplaces not accommodating accessible needs or employer’s unconscious biases. For some, that’s about to change for the better.
The Club’s Charities Trust recently took steps to raise awareness and create more opportunities for PWDs, by supporting the Jockey Club Collaborative Project for Inclusive Employment with an approved donation of over HK$130 million.

Building a healthy community is one of the priority funding areas of the Club’s charities strategy. The Club consistently worked to promote the development of various types of rehabilitation services for people in need, helping them better integrate into the workplace.
The Jockey Club Collaborative Project for Inclusive Employment works with various sectors, including academic, social service and business. By leveraging this synergy, the project aims to enhance employment support for PWDs, providing them with greater opportunities for the future while promoting diversity, equity and inclusivity in the society.

Major components of the project include strength-based employability assessments for PWDs to facilitate better job matching, personalised job preparation and specific vocational training. Additionally, it launched the “Caring Employer” medal, an initiative created in collaboration with the Labour and Welfare Bureau to recognise employers who demonstrate commitment and effort in promoting and achieving workplace inclusiveness.
