On 23 February 2026, applicants of the HKU Co‑operative Education Programme (Co‑op Programme) attended an on‑campus career insights session delivered by Manulife, gaining meaningful exposure to career development pathways within one of the world’s leading financial services organisations. The session opened with an introduction to the Co‑op Programme by Prof. Samson Tse, Director of the HKU Co‑op Programme, who highlighted the importance of industry engagement in preparing students for future professional success.
The programme featured insightful sharing from Ms. Sharon Wong, Managing Director & Associate Chief Counsel, and Ms. Carmen Chung, Head of Finance and Business Advisory at Manulife. Their discussions provided students with thoughtful perspectives on leadership, career growth, and navigating the evolving financial landscape. Students also benefited from an investment insights video delivered by Mr. Calvin Yip, Chief Investment Officer, Asia General Account Investments, coordinated by Ms. Cherrie Lui from the Campus Recruitment Team.
A key highlight of the session was the alumni sharing segment, featuring Mr. Bosco Chan, Ms. Fay Gawsawadikul, and Ms. Vinci Lam, all graduates who have since built their careers at Manulife. Their experiences offered students valuable perspectives on transitioning from university to the workplace and insights tailored for those interested in investment‑related roles.
Support from the Manulife Campus Recruitment Team — including Ms. Vonie Law and Ms. Quinn Wong — further enriched the session by facilitating student engagement and discussions on early‑career opportunities within the organisation.
The event provided students with well‑rounded exposure to the financial services sector and meaningful insights as they consider future career pathways and the potential of a six‑month full‑time Co‑op placement.
