Increasing Workplace Attachment Training Allowance of the Youth Employment and Training Programme
To further encourage young people to acquire practical work experience, develop potentials and explore employment opportunities through workplace attachment training under the Youth Employment and Training Programme (YETP) of the Labour Department, the rate of workplace attachment training allowance is increased with effect from 1 June 2025.
Attachment opportunities will be offered by the private, public and social service sectors. Each YETP trainee will undergo workplace attachment training in a host organisation for ONE month and there is no employment relationship between the host organisation and the trainee. Trainees are eligible for workplace attachment training allowance provided that they complete the training with an attendance rate of 80% or above. The amount of allowance is $8,000 for workplace attachment training commencing with effect from 1 June 2025.
