For the four-day fair, the Centre organized different lunch-time activities and seminars with specific topics. On March 10, a drama "Everyone Can Be a Kung Fu Master" was performed by Chinese Martial Arts Association and Chinese Martial Arts Alumni Association with the aim of delivering a key message that job hunting and career planning need to start with the basics and personal qualities.  

Apart from inviting SMEs to hire on campus, we invited voluntary organizations to recruit students as volunteers.  We promoted the spirit of proactive volunteerism and encouraged students to acquire learning-through-serving. A group of volunteers shared their Sichuan service experience through music on March 11.

One of the most popular events, "Apprentice@HKU", has been organized for four consecutive years.  For the past three weeks, 32 short-listed students attended group discussions, of which 4 candidates were selected for the final stage of competition. The finalists met again on stage to give a short presentation on "A Smarter Planet", which was a designated project of IBM Global Technology Services.  Additionally, they were also challenged with questions from the judging panel and other contestants. 

The panel of judges for the competition consisted of IBM Global Technology Services representatives - Albert Wong, Manager of Service Management, Seron Lo, Service Delivery Manager, and Herman Chan, Director of Careers and Placement, HKU. At the end Lester Fung Ka Kei (Year 4 student of Bachelor of Laws) and Bonita Wong Man Yin (Year 3 student of Bachelor of Business Administration [Law]) were selected to be the winners who will be awarded 2-month IBM internship contracts.
