Celebrating a Resounding Success: Hong Kong Top100 Graduate Employers and Future Leaders Competition held at CityU Campus for the First Time
We are delighted to share the phenomenal success of the Hong Kong Top100 Graduate Employers and Future Leaders Competition held at CityU campus for the first time on 2nd August 2023. Over 100 employers and students from universities in Hong Kong, Australia, the UK participated in the whole-day assessment, with dedicated support provided by the Student Development Unit and the Marketing and Event Team of CityU SCOPE. Initiated and spearheaded by GradConnection, this remarkable event took place through collaborative efforts of GradConnection, JobsDB Hong Kong, KOS International, Chandler Macleod, and Sova. CityU SCOPE takes pride in being a supporting organisation for this prestigious event.
The competition brought together all parts of the graduate recruitment industry, including employers, graduates, and universities. It provided a unique platform for students to meaningfully engage with top employers in Hong Kong, accelerate their career opportunities, and gain direct access to leading organisations. Mr. Tony Ye, the Director of Asia Markets at GradConnection, emphasized that the event aims at familiarising students with the real-life recruitment process before their graduation, facilitating them to interact with employers and gain insights for employability enhancement. The competition encompassed various stages, starting from online applications and tests to video interviews, culminating in the selection of the top 100 students who demonstrated their skills and aptitudes in an assessment day comprising carefully-designed group activities and face-to-face individual interviews.
This year's competition was a resounding success, attracting students from Hong Kong universities in their first through to penultimate year of study. Participants expressed their satisfaction and excitement in acquiring new skills and expanding their professional networks through the competition, which will undoubtedly contribute to their career development upon graduation.
The event featured senior business leaders, recruiters, and human resources professionals from Hong Kong's top organisations. DFI Retail, one of the employers, expressed their delight at the opportunity to connect with young talents, and praised the participants for their proactive approach and preparedness during the competition.
CityU SCOPE is committed to providing high-quality professional and lifelong education in Hong Kong, with a focus on empowering students with future intelligence and transferable skills to nurture a "Future Ready Generation." Supporting the Hong Kong Top100 Graduate Employers and Future Leaders Competition aligns perfectly with our mission, and we are delighted to be part of this event.
