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. Nearly 90 participants attended this year's SHTM Mentorship Programme Award Presentation cum Luncheon Meeting on 4 June.
After welcoming the participants, Dean Kaye Chon presented the SHTM Outstanding Student Mentor of the Year Award 2021 to Mr
Stan Kwong, Regional Head, Finnair, and the Outstanding Student Mentee of the Year Award 2021 to Ms Stella Quan, who just graduated from our MSc in International Hospitality Management.
Over the remainder of the year, the 71 student mentors and 76 student mentees will maintain close contact to achieve their agreed-upon learning objectives.
The SHTM Mentorship Programme connects students with industry professionals, leaders and SHTM alumni for advice, insight, guidance and 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 degree 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.
