The UC Shum Choi Sang Mentorship Programme, jointly organised by the College and the College Alumni Association, aims to foster a mentoring relationship between alumni and students. Through this mentoring, it is anticipated that mentors and mentees have a platform to exchange their academic, professional and life experience, building up a strong network of UCians.

Additionally, student who is going to have an overseas exchange can join the Overseas E-mentorship Programme to pair up with overseas alumni mentors in the countries of their visits and gain more first-hand information from mentors.

“I not only made friends from various disciplines but also gained a deeper understanding and insight into my future career direction. The invaluable experiences and advice shared by my mentors have not only broadened my horizons but also instilled in me the confidence and determination to pursue my dreams.”
Mentee, 2023-2024

Career Development has become an essential part of university life in recent years. Students can gain an in-depth understanding of their career interests via job aptitude tests in the College Career Development Facilitation Scheme. Students can also participate in career talks, one-on-one consultations with qualified Career Development Facilitators, and Interactive Career Workshop to gain greater understanding about yourself and enhance job-seeking skills.

“The Career Development Facilitation Scheme granted me the golden opportunity not only to explore my inner self, but also build a clear idea about what I can physically do reach my ultimate career goal. My Career Facilitator demonstrated exceptional patience throughout all 4 sessions of career counselling, attentively understand my personalities, background, concerns as well as my passion. She guided me to delve into self-discovery, leading me to identify key strengths, areas for refinement and setting realistic strategics. The more important is that she cultivated me a needed mindset for sustained growth.”
 – LAM Vianca (BBA Hospitality & Real Estate/Year 2)

“In the Career Development Facilitation Scheme, the Personality Dimensions workshop gave me a comprehensive understanding of myself. The meetings with my Career Facilitator- Sally, was even more rewarding. Under Sally’s guidance, it felt like I was conversing with my inner self. Through each interaction and every question, I re-examined my personality traits. Fortunately, Sally also came from the social sciences department, giving us more common topics to discuss. After four meetings, I felt less confused and worried, and gained a clearer understanding. I hope to plan my future through continuous exploration and experience. I am very grateful for the support from Sally and UC, and I strongly recommend everyone to participate and seize the opportunity to explore the limitless possibilities of career planning!”

“Time really flies, as I have already been working at Edelman as Intern for more than two months as I am writing. Edelman allows me to gain not only an in-depth experience of a public relations executive – from writing bylines, translating press releases, compiling media lists, brainstorming campaigns to researching on the current trends – but also a lot of fun and friends! As we are returning to office with hybrid working, it is always wonderful to chat and play games with amazing colleagues in person.”
