The JINESS Career Summit was held today to help students prepare in advance for proper career planning. At the Summit, celebrities, corporate human resources managers, students and graduates met and shared under one roof. Jointly developed and established by five self-financing tertiary institutions, JINESS (Joint-Institution Network for Student Success) is an intelligent portal for career opportunities and recruitment.

Backed by a HK$20 million subsidy from the Education Bureau, JINESS is a pioneering employment platform for students and graduates from five participating self-financing tertiary institutions, including Hang Seng Management College, Caritas Institute of Higher Education, Centennial College, Chu Hai College of Higher Education and Tung Wah College.

“The JINESS Career Summit is designed to help graduates from the five participating institutions,” says Dr Tom Fong, Chairman of the JINESS Management Committee and Vice-President (Organisational Development) of Hang Seng Management College. “A series of talks and activities during the Summit will help students better understand their own personal capabilities. They can learn how to compile more comprehensive and effective resumes through the use of various technologies in preparation for job-seeking activities. The event also welcomes employers, education industry practitioners, career consultancy tutors as well as secondary school students for information exchange and sharing.”

As the first large-scale event held by JINESS, this Career Summit has invited various celebrities to attend as guests, such as: Mr Sammy Leung, the well-known cross media artist; Mr Nelson Yip Siu-hong, the official representative of the Paralympics Equestrian Event, Beijing Olympics 2008; Mr Vincent Ng Ka-him, the cross-media producer; and famous Youtuber Ms Hana Tam. They shared their insights on how to excel in today’s job market and pave the way to success. Moreover, Ms Maria Hui, Director of Human Resources at Microsoft Hong Kong; and Ms Katie Chan, Vice President, Human Resources Asia Pacific at Emerson Network Power (Hong Kong) Limited, also provided analyses of industry prospects and offer the latest recruitment information. Smart job training workshops were also held to disclose valuable industry trends as well as providing winning tips for job hunting.
