For Immediate Release
The Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce (HKGCC) launched its second “Pitch Perfect Programme” on 1 March to bridge collaboration between the business community and Hong Kong’s youths. The project is a comprehensive training programme and competition that aims to teach university students valuable skills to help them along their career path.
Entering the corporate world is a major step in young people’s lives, which is why the Chamber decided to organise the Pitch Perfect Programme. Its goal is to help Hong Kong students prepare for this transition and give them a flying start.
The programme is open to all Year 1-4 undergraduate students of local universities, and more details on the programme can be found on the official website https://www.chamber.org.hk/en/yecppp23.
Seven companies have committed to supporting this year’s programme: Asia Allied Infrastructure Holdings Limited; Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited; Chevalier Group; MTR Corporation Limited; Sun Hung Kai Properties Limited; Lan Kwai Fong Group; NEC Hong Kong Limited; and backed by the Home and Youth Affairs Bureau of the HKSARG.
In addition, members of the Chamber’s Young Executives Club will serve as trainers and mentors during the course of the programme, which will run in four stages over three months.
