過往Mentees 分享

法商系三年級生沈芝杏(Francis)表示,她通過學生事務處電郵及學長學姐推薦加入計劃,獲益良多。學長詳細講解攻讀博士、法學專業證書課程到完成培訓的過程,為原本職業認知模糊的她釐清發展方向。在學習層面,她借助學者分享的邏輯方法、高效閱讀及閱讀文獻重點等技巧,提升法律學科的學習效率。

 

工管系三年級生陳灝(Rino)表示,參與計劃的最大收穫是結識到學長,獲得以學生身份難以觸及的社會資源和交友機會。他透過計劃中的實踐機會,體驗到公司管理等實務操作,更接觸到世界500強年輕企業家,從而累積優質人脈並拓寬行業視野。

Frequently Asked Questions (for Students)

Mentorship Programme is a one-year programme that begins every November. It is structured as a one-to-one/ one-to-two partnership between the mentor and the mentee (current student of HKSYU).

It facilitates mentees’ educational, social, and personal growth through the Mentorship Programme. Additionally, it provides students with the opportunity to broaden their horizons through interactions with experienced professionals and senior executives, fostering stronger interpersonal communication skills.

Under the Mentorship Programme, the mentee will participate in a variety of activities, including individual meetings with the mentor and sharing sessions. Additionally, the OSA will organize supplementary activities for students to strengthen the mentor-mentee relationship.

Students in any discipline are welcome to join the programme.

There are certain duties and responsibilities that come with the privilege of being a mentee. For example, mentees are expected to attend the opening ceremony, various activities (such as career workshops and sharing sessions organized by the OSA or arranged by the mentors), and submit a programme survey at the end of the programme.
