Work Together, Walk Together：Looking for an Ideal Job

To find an ideal job according to one’s own interests is a right that everyone should enjoy, and it should not be different because they are disabled.

“Project WORKS” implemented by Ebenezer School and Home for the Visually Impaired (Ebenezer) related to employment support helps the visually impaired graduates of Ebenezer. The graduates who are employed will help the students in the school to plan their careers, in the form of teaching and practical instruction.

WONG Mei-ling is a graduate of Ebenezer. Through the career matching of “Project WORKS”, she is now working for Eye Fund. She had bad experience at work in the past, but with her proactive character, she regularly shares her career experiences with the students studying in Ebenezer.

WONG Ka-ho is the first graduate of Ebenezer who had a successful employment match under “Project WORKS”. He is a graduate of the Department of Social Work of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He is currently working as a social worker at the Senior Citizen Home Safety Association and mainly responsible for telephone counseling work of the “Care-on-Call Service”.

TSE Yun-hang is a student who is determined to work in the social work industry. Under “Project WORKS”, he received guidance from WONG Mei-ling and WONG Ka-ho, who are both working for social welfare organizations. Through volunteer works, visiting, internships and other opportunities, they share their work experience. During the process, TSE is told the difficulties that the visually-impaired might encountered in the workplace, and taught how to get along with sighted colleagues and bosses. As such, TSE can start planning his career as early as possible and build a solid foundation for future employment.
