MGT invites key social figures to help students in career development
After Dr Fan’s keynote speech, Mr Paul Chan, JP, Deputy Executive Director of the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups, shared his views on the role of community participation in developing a successful career. Mr David Lam, Managing Director of Experiential Development, helped students learn the soft skills needed in the workplace through hands-on activities.
On Day Two of the workshop, recent CityU alumni shared their stories about career development and their experience in human resources and international business.
Mr John Lai, an instructor in MGT and the organizer of the workshop, has received a great deal of positive feedback from previous workshop participants. “Many students have found the workshops very rewarding and they have learnt a lot of practical knowledge and skills that go beyond textbooks. We will continue to provide similar learning opportunities for our students,” Mr Lai said.
The Residential Workshop is a key activity on the Career Development Programme which was initiated by MGT to help final-year students make the transition from school to work. The Programme provides career counseling services and organizes the Workplace Success Workshop, which helps students develop soft skills for the workplace.
