 The students were eager to ask questions. | | The Executive Roundtable Forum on Millennial Employability was hosted by The Golden Key Club on 6 October 2015 as the kick-off event for a series of training sessions for its members for the year 2015-16. About 100 students and CityU scholarship recipients attended the forum and they gained valuable insights meeting with business leaders from different fields at a roundtable sharing.
Also present at the forum were Dr. Andrew Ma, Executive Director of Chorev Consulting International Limited who served as facilitator, and the guest speakers Ms. Rita Chan, Regional HR Director (Asia), Jardine Lloyd Thompson Ltd.; Mr. Trevor Tam, Managing Director, Goldman Sachs (Asia) L.L.C.; and Ms. Priscilla Wong, Principal Consultant, EPC Consulting (Beijing).
The speakers shared their experience and observations in hiring and working with the millennial generation during the 45-minute roundtable discussion. Their sharing was warmly received by students who were eager to ask questions and they stayed behind to mingle with the guests.
Two subsequent training sessions were organised to further prepare club members for the workplace before their graduation. The first in the series, “Developing the Employability Key before Entering the Workplace,” was held on 19 October last year. The second, “Sharpening Your Keys—Bridging the Mindset Gap and Social Capital Gap for the Millennial Generation,” was held on 12 November. |
