As one of the core sectors of Hong Kong’s vibrant creative industries, the digital entertainment (DE) industry has been changing rapidly in the past few years. DE companies are becoming more and more technology-driven. The prevalence of social media and mobile platforms has driven new ways of operation and development. It has been a challenge for DE companies to recruit new talent who have limited relevant hands-on experience to meet the DE industry’s technical needs and cope with the new business environment.

The Hong Kong Digital Entertainment Association (HKDEA, the Organizer) is pleased to organize the 5th Hong Kong Digital Entertainment Industry Fresh Graduate Support Scheme (Support Scheme) with staunch support and generous sponsorship from Create Hong Kong (CreateHK) of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

The Support Scheme has the following objectives:

• - To subsidize and encourage local DE companies to employ and train fresh graduates and nurture the latter to become new blood of the industry;
• - To pair up local fresh graduates with potential employers to facilitate the former to enter into the industry and be advised of the prospects in the DE industry; and
• - To foster the development of the DE industry with more abundant supply of DE talent working in the industry
