Stand stronger Join HK's  Unemployment fund

Unemployment fund for graduates

If you are not already a member of the unemployment fund, it is important that you join no later than 14 days after you have completed your education. You must do so to ensure your right to unemployment benefits as newly educated. If you do not join before the 14 days deadline, you cannot receive any unemployment benefit until after one year.
If you have already joined, you can read our guide for your next steps as a graduate.
