Students' Activities
Co-organised with the City University of Hong Kong and Hong Kong Blind Union on 27 March 2024, the DEI@WORK delved into the topic of DEI: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the workplace.
Our ABA students are inspired to explore the importance of providing an equitable working environment for their future employees.
Dr. Kwan Chi Kin of the Department of Social and Behavioural Sciences of CityU is the key figure behind the project.
Our guests from the Hong Kong Blind Union engaged in interactive tutorials on how to aid PWD (people with disabilities), such as the proper way to guide a visually impaired person or push a wheelchair.
Even Professor Sonny Lo, the Acting Principal of the Community College, showed up to support the cause!

GBA Tour, July 2023
As part of the Inter-school Entrepreneurship Workshop, 10 students from the Division of Economics and Business accompanied a group of secondary school students to visit Rainbow Shopping Mall and an electronic manufacturing factory in Dongguan. The interesting tour provided the students with the opportunity to explore the consumer culture, shopping trends, and innovative business ideas in the Greater Bay Area.
Students took a guided tour on the factory floor where they observed different stages of the production processes – starting from component assembly to final product testing and packaging. Also, they had the chance to ask questions to the management of the factory, which helped them gain insights into the challenges and opportunities of the electronic manufacturing industry in mainland.
