On 9th Aug 2012, 31 students paid a visit to the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office which is one of the 3 offices in U.S, while the remaining 2 are located in San Francisco and Washington D.C. respectively. Being one of the permanent representatives of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, HKETO(NY) strengthens the economic trade, investment and cultural ties between Hong Kong and the U.S.A. by introducing the unique business environments and numerous opportunities to U.S investors. It plays a vital role for the economic development of Hong Kong.
In the visit, Mr. Paul Cheung, Deputy Director of the HKETO (NY), gave the students a bigger picture about the department. Throughout the presentation, he showcased the regular events arranged to emphasize the tight business cooperating bonding between New York and Hong Kong. After that, it comes to the most interesting part, career sharing. As many students in Hong Kong are interested in the government administration, he shared about the career insight and prospect of an AO such as on-the job training and promotional path. He also shared about the difficulties and challenges that he has came across with. Afterwards, he kindly shared his experience in the interview. His unique and valuable experience delights the students and sparkles their interests towards policy making.
The visit is valuable and knowledgable that students felt of great honor to learn from Mr. Paul Cheung's wisdom.
