STAGE 1 - Training Sessions

March, Chamber Theatre

Three training sessions will be held on 13, 14 and 27 March to equip students with fundamental skills such as interview techniques, impressive presentation, leadership and communication skills. Experienced young executives and professional career coaches will also provide up-to-date training and share the latest career trends with participants.

STAGE 2 - Mentoring Session

27 March - May

During this stage, two mentors will be assigned to each group of 5-6 students. The mentors mainly will be members of the Young Executives Club with diverse backgrounds and professions.

Mentors will share their career stories and give advice on career development and will help the students prepare for the pitching competition in Stage 4.

A mentor-mentee day will be held on 27 March to facilitate communications and mutual understanding between both sides.

Students and their assigned mentors are required to meet at least three times during the programme, either in person or via ZOOM.

STAGE 3 - Company Visit

April - Early May

Company visits

Students have the opportunity to visit more than 1 sponsor company to learn more about the company background, mission, business operations and upcoming plans which can help them prepare for the pitching competition in stage four.

As the quota for each company is limited, students may have to rank their choices for the visits. The Chamber and sponsor companies have the final decision on the visit quota and arrangement.

STAGE 4 - Pitching Competition

Late May, Chamber Theatre

The final stage of the programme is a 2-round pitching competition. If you can beat other contestants in the first round, you will receive HKD 8,000 and enter the final to compete for an additional HKD 10,000.

First Round:
Each candidate can only choose 1 company track to participate

A panel of judges composed of company representatives will conduct group interviews with candidates.

Each candidate will give a two-minute presentation and answer questions from the panel.

*Picking company is also strategic as number of participants for each track may not be the same.

Final Round
6 winners will be doing a group interview by a judging panel formed by the Chamber and YEC leadership.

A final champion will be selected and awarded HKD 10,000, and one day job shadowing with a business leader.
*Details of the competition will be announced.
