What type of worker, employment situation, occupation or professional activity is this pathway actually designed for?

IANG is for non-local graduates: non-local students who have obtained an undergraduate or higher qualification in a full-time, locally-accredited programme in Hong Kong. It is an arrangement to stay on or return to work after graduation, not an occupation-specific employment permit.
