APSS is very proud to announce that a team of APSS year 3 students, including Brandon Chiu Yeung CHAN, Wellesley Chun Yui LEUNG and James Tsz For LO, from the BA (Hons) in Social Policy and Social Entrepreneurship (SPSE) programme won the Stage One award (HKD 20,000) of the PolyU Micro Fund 2022-23 Cohort 1. The team has subsequently been admitted to the HKSTP Ideation Programme (HKD 100,000).
The student team took the initiative to kick start a social project – Spartan, a platform with an artificial intelligence (AI) system that integrates job-matching, skills-enhancement tutorials, and CV enrichment, designed for students in post-secondary education. The team won the Micro Fund award for their innovative and creative thinking, IT skills, and the social mission of the project. With the funding being awarded and associated opportunities, the team can further pursue their social enterprise dreams and entrepreneurial journey.
With support and professional advice from Dr Raymond TAM, Programme Leader of SPSE, and Mr Ken CHAU, Project Associate of SPSE and also an alumnus of APSS, the team showed remarkable skill, put maximum effort into all rounds of assessment, and ultimately stood out from more than 100 teams.
Let’s take this opportunity to congratulate them on receiving the awards!
