In addition, the service collaborated with the University Health Service and the Training Section of the Personnel Office to organize talks under the Student Mental Health Enhancement Programme. Activities for Incoming Students The Incoming Students Section was established under the Office of Student Affairs in mid-2005. In the first year of its operation, the section organized a number of activities for different groups of students. Programmes catering to International House residents included orientation, international cuisine party, Halloween party, breakfast gatherings and open house. They provided opportunities for cultural exchange among student residents from different countries. Another focus of the section was to provide administrative support to Mainland students. A series of ‘get-togethers’ were conducted in the second term to gauge the views of Mainland freshmen on campus life. The section also supported the Mainland Undergraduate Association (MUA) in organizing the Mainland Students Orientation in September 2005. A potluck party co-organized by the MUA and International House was held in November 2005. Career Guidance and Development In the past year, some 5,000 companies placed recruitment advertise- ments through the University’s Career Planning and Development Centre, inviting applications for over 14,000 vacancies. To better equip students for employment, career guidance programmes, exhibitions, and recruitment talks were organized, attracting over 12,000 participants. The China Career Development Award Programme, running in its ninth year, provided about 100 students with the opportunity to learn about the Mainland’s socio-political and economic systems and workplace culture in state or private enterprises in major Mainland cities. In line with the University’s mission of internationalization, the programme was further expanded to cover overseas cities including Melbourne, Sydney, Toronto, Dublin, and Orlando. In summer 2006, 29 students were selected to undergo workplace training for 6 to 12 weeks on this Overseas Internship Programme. With regard to graduate employment (excluding MBChB graduates), about 78% of the class of 2005 were able to secure full-time employment by the end of December 2005, with 73% joining the commercial and industrial sectors, and 13% joining the social and public organizations. Another 19% decided to further their studies.
