Annual Report 2021–22

Launch of Hong Kong’s first university-wide co-operative education programme CUHK formally launched its new co-operative education programme, Co-op@CUHK, a flagship work-integrated learning initiative designed to bridge the gap between classroom learning and the demands of the 21st-century workplace. The first of its kind in Hong Kong, Co-op@CUHK is open to students in the penultimate and final years of their degrees. The programme is introduced by two preparatory courses taken across a semester and a wide range of capacity-building activities, before students undertake a paid, full-time, six- to eight-month work placement, in organisations that include major global companies with local operations, start-ups, non-profits and statutory bodies. Since opening for applications in September 2021, Co-op@CUHK has secured committed support from Faculties. More than 100 students have joined the first intake, and more than 60 corporate partners from various sectors have signed on to the scheme. Looking ahead, CUHK is planning to expand the programme both to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the global market. Co-op@CUHK creates a triple win for students, the University and employers by meaningfully integrating tertiary education and workplace experience to deliver a pipeline of career-ready talent. 全港首創校企合作教育計劃 中大推出嶄新旗艦式校企合作教育 項目「在學‧在職計劃」，結合工作與 學習，銜接課堂教學與廿一世紀的職 場需求。 「在學‧在職計劃」為全港大學首創， 歡迎三年級及四年級學生報名參加。 計劃內容設計相當嚴謹，提供兩個橫 跨整個學期的預備課程，再配合多元 化的培訓活動，讓學生在跨國及本地 企業、初創公司、非牟利機構或政府 團體參與歷時六至八個月的全職工作 實習前作好準備。 「在學‧在職計劃」自2021年9月起接 受報名，獲得八大學院全力支持，吸 引逾一百名學生參與，共連繫了超過 六十家各行各業的企業合作夥伴，反 應非常熱烈。展望未來，計劃將推展 至粵港澳大灣區及全球市場，以尋找 更多與海外業界夥伴合作的機會。 「在學‧在職計劃」有效地融合大學 教育和工作體驗，為社會培育對事業 發展準備充足的青年人才，為學生、大 學及僱主締造三贏局面。 請掃描二維碼深入了解中大「在學‧在職計劃」。 Please scan the QR code for more information about Co-op@CUHK.
