Other Support Services
Christian Action responds to the different service gaps in society; we consistently expand our range of services and programmes to provide people in need with appropriate support.
Employment Support Services (EmSS)
Since 2001, we began helping people who receive Comprehensive Social Security Assistance (CSSA) and youth through the government’s Employment Support Services (formerly Integrated Employment Assistance Programme for Self-reliance). We provide a one-stop comprehensive employment assistance service, helping those people to rebuild their self-confidence so that they can re-enter the workforce and become self-reliant.
- Targets able-bodied CSSA applicants / recipients aged 15 to 64
- Covers Kwun Tong and North District
- Provides employment consultation services
- Offers job search and occupational trainings
- Arranges internships and hands-on work experience
- Volunteer work activities
