Convocation unites alumni’s support for “City-Youth Empowerment Project – Career Workshop for Ethnic Minority”
2 March 2014

The Convocation is dedicated to uniting fellow alumni to support social service endeavors. This year, as its second consecutive year, the Convocation continues to serve as the Supporting Unit for “City-Youth Empowerment Project – Career Workshop for Ethnic Minority”. This annual social service programme, organised by City-Youth Empowerment Project of the Department of Applied Social Studies, will take place on 2 March.

Ethnic youths from a secondary school will receive a half-day orientation on interview skills and hands-on training by participating in the mock interviews. Highlights of the workshop include a career sharing-session to be conducted by a group of alumni volunteers from different career fields to give participants a broad view of options. The Convocation would like to extend a special thanks to those alumni who will be joining the Standing Committee members to serve as volunteers on this occasion.

 

 

 

Nearly 80 participants including ethnic youths from secondary schools, alumni and student volunteers joined the “City-Youth Empowerment Project – Career Workshop for Ethnic Minority Youth”, a social service programme organised by the Department of Applied Social Studies on campus on 2 March.

The Convocation continued to serve as “Supporting Unit” of the workshop for the 2nd year and it successfully recruited dedicated alumni volunteers to serve as mentors. Convocation Vice-Chairmen Mr Cedric Cheng, Mr William Khoo and Mr Joseph Tsoi, and Standing Committee members Mr Gabriel Ho, Miss Flora Leung, Miss Vera Kong, Mr Billy Li and Miss Ywing Yeung joined the workshop and spent a meaningful Sunday with the ethnic youths who treasured the learning opportunity from alumni and student volunteers. The students enthusiastically took part in various hands-on training including group discussions and mock interviews, and SC members were impressed by their remarkable performance and positive learning attitude.

The CityU Convocation would like to extend its heartfelt thanks to alumni who participated in the workshop, in particular to those who supported for the second time!
