Mentorship Programme Kick-off Tea Reception

This comes another great year to start with, our heartfelt thanks for all our mentors.  This year, we get another strong support from our partners IET (HK) and HEC and help recruiting mentors, both new and old, amounting up to 52!  Whereas we got 88 mentees registered this year!  This is really a good sign that reflects our students understand how mentorship programme functions. Same as previous years, we meet our mentors and mentees to kick off the mentorship programme.  A happy and enjoyable sharing in the afternoon of 18 November at Staff Club.  We really hope our mentees could be benefited tremendously with the devoted and sincere guidance and support from their mentors.
