How to apply for Hong Kong's Excellent Talent Plan? Zhang Ping: The Excellent Talent Plan is divided into two categories, the "Points-based Scheme" and the "Achievement-based Scheme". I applied through the "Achievement-based Scheme", under which athletes who won medals at the Olympics are qualified. Zhang Ping, a distinguished player from the national women's volleyball team and Tianjin women's volleyball team, has settled in Hong Kong. There are no quotas for the arrangements regarding non-local graduates staying/returning to Hong Kong for employment, the general employment policy, and the Mainland Talents Introduction Scheme.
