On Dec. 16th, BNUZ Office of Admission & Employment organized directors and teachers who are in charge of student employment from all schools and departments to visit the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Hong Kong Baptist University aiming to further promote the career counseling and employment guidance service at BNUZ.
Zhuonan Liang, Vice Director of CUHK Office of Academic Links (China), made a brief introduction about the university’s background and the division of work relating to employment in different departments. Guoyao Liang, Vice Director of CUHK Innovation and Technology Center, introduced the situation of Pi Centre. The Pi Centre is jointly managed by the Center for Entrepreneurship, Centre for Innovation and Technology and Office of Research and Transfer Knowledge Services. The students, who want to start up their own businesses, have access to all kinds of office facilities and software resources free of charge, and get professional guidance from Venture Capital Senior Manager. Pi Centre is designed to help students to set up their own business, and then put them into the places such as Hong Kong Science & Technology Park. Mr. Liang said, ‘Helping students start their own businesses is not to teach them how to make money, but to help them transform their knowledge and skills into useful products and resources which is good for the society.”
In Hong Kong Baptist University, BNUZ delegation was warmly received by Prof. Yu Huang, Associate Pro-Vice-Chancellor and Dean of School of Communication. Lifen Yu, Senior Career Development Officer of Office of Student Affairs introduced about the major programs running at the Career Centre. HKBU Career Centre is responsible to provide resources such as recruitment seminars, careers expositions and enterprise interviews, which aims to help students make career planning through one-on-one career counseling and career guidance. BNUZ delegation also learned about some featured projects such as the luncheon-with-employer, professional mentor scheme, career training workshops and innovative entrepreneurship education.
