The Closing Ceremony for the first Banking Certificate Programme, hosted by the Executive Development Centre and supported by the School of Business and the Student Affairs Office, was held at Alice Lam Lecture Theatre on 28 April 2016.  The 3-month programme started in January 2016 and aimed at providing invaluable opportunities for students to gain insights from financial experts on their work experience and professional knowledge. Fifty students were selected out of over 130 applications from 5 different schools. They obtained a certificate after completion of the 7 modules and an assignment with satisfactory results.

President Simon S M Ho expressed his sincere thanks to the guest speakers and facilitators for their efforts in nurturing the students. He encouraged the students to give back and contribute their knowledge to society.

Gavin Chan, a BBA student, shared what he learnt from the course during the ceremony.  He encouraged everyone to read more, get prepared and grasp opportunities when available.  His motto is “The future is yours. The sky’s the limit.”

Among 50 student awardees of the banking certificates in the ceremony, a group of 4 students, Chan Wing Hei, Andrew Law, Li Cheuk Wing and Phyllis Ng, was awarded the Champion team for their project “Digital Banking: Today and Tomorrow”. Another four students, Ronald Lee, Jack Ng, Jason Ng and Ray Chen, were appreciated for their active and initiative participation in the programme.
