CEFAR MENTORSHIP PROGRAMME NETWORKING DINNER

To enhance the communication among mentors and mentees, the CEFAR Academy held a mentorship programme networking dinner on 23 May following the Fintech Seminar Series. The guest speaker of the seminar, Ms. Charlotte Wong, HSBC Chief Information Officer, also joined the dinner as the Guest of Honour. All participants had a great time and led fruitful discussions at the dinner.

In the 2022-23 academic year, a mentorship programme has been launched as one of the initiatives of the CEFAR Academy for students of the Master of Science in Financial Technology. The seven students selected for the mentorship programme were among the recipients of the UGC’s Targeted Taught Postgraduate Fellowships Schemes. They were each paired with a mentor who is a member of the Advisory Committee of the CEFAR Academy. The mentorship programme aims to connect students with industry and fintech leaders to advance and accelerate their career goals and personal advancement.
