【You See Companionship】The beauty of travelling lies in sharing your adventures with your companions.

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 like the group interaction of the mentorship programme. I can get to know more students and mentors at the same time and have more diverse background exchanges.”
— Mentee, 2021-2022

“I appreciate the UC mentorship programme for providing a platform to converse with mentors of different years. They are all very nice and willing to share their life experiences and insights. These are valuable insights that are hard to obtain in the classroom, and the conversations have inspired me for a lifetime.”
— Mentee, 2021-2022

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 held by professional HR practitioners to enhance job-seeking skills.

Sharing from our students:

“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.”

Luk Huen Yiu (Chinese Language and Literature/Year 5)

“Through the Scheme, I have gained deeper understanding to both my own personality and my career planning. My career facilitator guided me through various personality tests, helped me polish my resume, and introduced new methods for job hunting and networking. The Scheme broadened my horizons and most importantly, helped me to develop a higher-level perspective on career planning, which was very meaningful to me.”

Liu Songyu (Quantitative Finance and Risk Management Science/Year 2)

United College, in collaboration with United College Alumni Association, co-organise the United College Internship Scheme to provide training opportunities for United College undergraduate students. Internship opportunities will enhance students’ understanding to their future career and help them gain practical workplace experience prior to graduation. Internship opportunities are offered to United College students every summer.

“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.”
