Allen
Junior Data Engineer Program
“I found the workplace soft skills content (behavior, skills and mindset) covered in the course to be quite valuable. The instructional approach was engaging and interactive, with the role-playing exercises being particularly impactful. Through these activities, I developed a greater ability to consider different perspectives and actively listen to others’ input. I’ve been able to apply these learnings not just in my work, but also in my personal life.”
Jack
Digital Marketing Program
“The instructors put a lot of effort in preparing teaching materials, which made me feel their thoughtfulness. They were also very willing to answer our questions and their industry experiences with us. The program also featured numerous group projects, which gave us the opportunity to not just discuss things theoretically, but actually apply relevant knowledge and enhance our presentation skills. I found the ‘role-playing’ part particularly useful, as we took turns playing the role of the client and asking questions to the presenting group. This helped us think from a completely new perspective, which in turn assisted us in designing a more comprehensive solution.”
Charlotte
Digital Marketing Program
“I not only learned the industry knowledge of digital marketing, the course also had many group projects, which gave me the opportunity to put the knowledge I learned into practice. At the same time, the soft skills taught in the course cultivated my sense of responsibility and creativity. The sharing from the instructors and experts from the digital marketing industry was also very beneficial to me, and ignited my passion for this industry. I believe this course not only helped me master practical skills, but also allowed me to grow more in team collaboration and interpersonal skills. Thank you for this valuable learning opportunity!”
Jacky
Customer Services Program
“After finishing my DSE, I wanted to get a job but didn’t have any clear direction, so I felt unmotivated to look for work and stayed home for a few months. Fortunately, a social worker recommended this program to me, and I felt it was a great opportunity to learn about different industries, so I decided to join. At first I was worried that the 5-week duration would be too difficult to get through, but later I realized the 5 weeks actually went by very quickly. I wish there had been a few more weeks so I could have learned even more. The program helped me discover my own potential, see my strengths and weaknesses, and gain a better understanding of myself, which will be helpful for my future job search and career development. Now I have more confidence in myself.”
Nat
Customer Services Program
“The program allowed me to confidently showcase my best self! I’m no longer afraid to apply for front-line positions in the hotel industry. The most important things I learned include interview skills and CV writing techniques. The mock interviews and CV360 sessions before the actual interviews definitely helped employers better understand my strengths, skills and attitude, and assess how suitable I am for the job. Through the employer visits in the course, I not only learned about different job openings, but also gained a deeper understanding of the company cultures, which helped me choose the work environment that will be most suitable for me.”
Mrs Chan

“His transformation is from a lack of confidence in speaking to others to now having more self-confidence. He is now willing to go for interviews and job hunting.”
