Since 2002, the SHTM has paired full-time hospitality and tourism students aspiring to build careers in the industry with seasoned industry professionals who provide tailored advice and guidance. More than 220 participants attended this year's SHTM Mentorship Programme Award Presentation cum Luncheon Meeting on 8 February.
After welcoming the participants, Professor Kaye Chon, SHTM Dean, Chair Professor and Walter and Wendy Kwok
Family Foundation Professor in International Hospitality Management, presented the SHTM Outstanding Student Mentor of the Year Award 2024 to Ms Renee Kim, General Manager, Regala Skycity Hotel, and the Outstanding Student Mentee of the Year Award 2024 to Ms Yilly Lin, 2024 graduate in the Master of Science in the International Hospitality Management programme.
The 101 student mentors and 219 mentees involved in the Mentorship Programme will remain in close contact throughout the year to
ensure they achieve their agreed-upon learning objectives.
The SHTM Mentorship Programme connects students with industry professionals, leaders, and SHTM alumni, who offer advice, insight, and guidance and share the wisdom that comes with practical experience. Talented alumni, professionals, and experienced personnel in hotels, travel agencies, and other tourism establishments have been recruited to serve as mentors. First-, second-, and third-year undergraduate students and full-time
MSc students are eligible to join the programme.
The School thanks its industry partners for acting as student mentors and helping to nurture the next generation of leaders in the hospitality and tourism industry.
