More career support for OUHK graduates

With the economy hard hit by the global financial turmoil, seeking employment has become a major concern of fresh graduates. The OUHK has introduced various measures to strengthen career support for its students. A Career Day organized by the Registry was held on 27 March for full-time students. Representatives of companies from fields such as the civil service; finance and insurance; health and beauty; telecom and catering gave talks and set up booths on campus to introduce job opportunities.

Other measures at a glance:

  • 30 internships under the Executive Trainee Scheme for graduates of full-time programmes this year.

  • 100 member companies in our Employer Support Study Scheme, alumni, schools and other companies were sent letters to seek employment opportunities for graduates.

  • 5,000 recruiters in different fields were contacted and sent information on OUHK study programmes.

  • Workshops on job selection, writing job application letters and job interview skills are being organized.

  • A dedicated page on the University's website will be set up to let employers advertise their vacancies.

  • More places in postgraduate programmes will be provided for graduates to pursue further studies.
