The Jockey Club Collaborative Project for Inclusive Employment
The importance of unity of knowledge and action has been raised long ago by Confucius in The Analects. As explained by the Ming dynasty thinker Wang Yangming, “becoming aware plants the seed of action, taking action is the fruit of knowledge”.
The Jockey Club Collaborative Project for Inclusive Employment aspires to not only raise stakeholders’ awareness and knowledge on inclusive employment, but also inspire them to take action and become advocates for inclusive employment, contributing to social inclusion. The project aims to facilitate the five partners (CareER, Heep Hong Society, SAHK, St. James Settlement, and The University of Hong Kong) with a diverse range of expertise to break away from the traditional ways of working, create opportunities to experiment with different forms of collaboration and foster the sharing of information, networks, creativity, knowledge and skills, and other resources. We trust that such collaboration can improve the quality and effectiveness of services, which will ultimately lead to the raising of societal awareness and furthering the cause of inclusive employment, achieving unity of knowledge and action.
