The Career Development Facilitation Scheme was held in February to May 2024 in collaboration with the College and the School of Continuing and Professional Studies, CUHK. A comprehensive series of activities were organised for the students, including one-on-one career counseling sessions, career talk, and interactive workshops facilitated by the social enterprise ‘CAPALA’. Through active participation in these activities, students not only discovered their unique abilities but also gained the confidence to showcase their strengths.

Interactive Workshop by CAPALA (9 April 2024)

A boardgame workshop was prepared by CAPALA, which helped students to find their unique talent in workplace, and to present themselves in the job interviews effectively.

Board games made it easier for students to engage in activities.

Instructor from the CAPALA guided students to reflect on themselves.

Let’s read the students’ sharing:

As graduation approaches, I find myself contemplating possibilities beyond a teaching career. Amidst my confusion, I received an email from the College. Fate led me to meet Yo, my career facilitator. Just a few meet ups, we’ve become friends who discuss everything. Through our conversations, we’ve managed to clarify our own values and draw inspiration from each other.

Through joining the Scheme, I have gained deeper understanding to both my own personality and my career planning. My career facilitator led me to try various personality tests, polished my resume and explored new methods for job hunting and networking. This scheme has broadened my horizon and helped me to develop a holistic perspective on career planning and life, which was profoundly meaningful to me.
