These workshops were tailored for university lecturers, educational institutions, and businesses, with the aim of fostering knowledge exchange and industry collaboration. Furthermore, HKU VN engaged with the community through a series of counselling programs, guiding parents and students on HKUBS Master’s and MBA programmes and available scholarship opportunities.
