HKU-Accenture Business Consulting Programme 2022-23 Inaugurated
A ceremony was held on January 10, 2023 at HKU iCube to mark the inauguration of the HKU-Accenture Business Consulting Programme 2022-23 – an experiential learning opportunity that allows students from HKU Business School to gain industry knowledge and exposure to business consulting. This year, 30 undergraduate students were selected to join this two-month programme.
Professor Ian HOLLIDAY, Vice-President and Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Teaching and Learning) of HKU delivered the opening remarks. He expressed that the programme feedback from past participants was highly positive since its launch in 2016. ““We are extremely grateful to Accenture for pulling a lot of resources to the Programme and providing opportunities for our students to learn from industry experts.” Ms. Christina WONG, Managing Director, Strategy & Consulting, Greater China, emphasised how students could benefit from this Programme and get prepared for their future careers. Students would be equipped with the essential knowledge and skills in business consulting, with the most up-to-date strategies and topics, including design thinking methodology. “I am sure students will be able to learn necessary skill sets to cop with the challenges in the market, and set the right mindsets with innovation and creativity in order to contribute back to the society!”
Preded to the inauguration ceremony, the 2020-21 Awardees shared their experience with student participants and advised them to treasure this valuable learning experience.
