PROMOTE SUSTAINED, INCLUSIVE AND SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC GROWTH, FULL AND PRODUCTIVE EMPLOYMENT AND DECENT WORK FOR ALL

EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES

Promoting an inclusive and fair workplace is essential in creating decent work environments and fostering economic growth. Our policies on Equality and DiversityNon-discrimination and Anti-harassment, ensure equal access to employment and prevent discrimination based on age, physical ability, gender, sexual orientation, economic status, ethnicity, religious affiliation, or political persuasion. Appeal processes are also in place to promote transparency and accountability. USJ is committed to paying all our staff above the Macao living wage. We are dedicated to the eradication of human trafficking, slavery and other abuses of freedom and rights, as reflected in the USJ Anti-Slavery Statement. USJ strongly oppose such practices in all the university operations and supply chains.

STUDENT WORK PLACEMENT

In the 2023-2024 academic year, just over 21% of our students participated in work placements or internships. We continue to seek more opportunities for work placements or internships with local and international companies and organisations in different industrial sectors in Macau. Through these initiatives, our students will be well-prepared to face the challenges of the global workplace.
