Executive Mentoring Programme

Introduction

The Executive Mentoring Programme (EMP) intends to promote a sharing and supportive relationship between the experienced professionals in the business world and selected students of CityU. Through direct interactions with senior executives at the work setting, student mentees are expected to learn about different perspective in the world of work and to facilitate their school-to-work transition. The programme, though non-academic in nature, may serve as a significant complement to the academic curriculum of the university.
