Pandora Tsang, a master\u2019s degree graduate at Queen Mary University of London, said, \u201cMy motivation to join the TLT Programme is driven by my deep passion for technology and my desire to contribute to shaping Hong Kong as an international I&T hub. This aspiration is also the reason I returned to Hong Kong from the UK. Working and gaining experience in a vibrant I&T community presents an unparalleled opportunity for my personal and professional growth.\u201d<\/p>\n
During the 12-month programme, HKSTP will offer TLT members a comprehensive series of training workshops aimed at enhancing their skills in communication, creative thinking, and entrepreneurship specifically for the I&T environment. They will actively engage in Hong Kong’s vibrant innovation ecosystem, expanding their horizons and contributing to the growth of the city’s technology sector. The young professionals will also have opportunities to connect with startup founders and industry experts, significantly broadening their professional network. Additionally, HKSTP\u2019s senior staff members will regularly mentor the participants to provide them with expert guidance on emerging technological trends, industry outlook, and personalised career development, thereby enhancing their competitiveness in the I&T field.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough my daily work and interactions, as well as TLT programme activities such as tours to tech ventures, have given me a better understanding of the future I&T development in Hong Kong, the GBA and beyond, \u201c shared Jockey Yeung, a master\u2019s degree graduate from Imperial College Business School. \u201cI believe the connections and opportunities offered by the programme will help me achieve breakthroughs in my career path, allowing me to progress further in the I&T industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
