Prof. Stephen SHUM welcomes the students and industry partners joining the Business Career Fair 2026.
CityUHK Business Career Fair celebrates 10th anniversary with record employer participation
The CityUHK College of Business has marked a significant milestone with the conclusion of its annual Business Career Fair, celebrating 10 years of connecting ambitious business talent with global industry leaders.
Over the past decade, the fair has continually evolved, navigating changing landscapes through virtual formats during global disruptions, weathering typhoon-induced rescheduling, and adapting across various campus spaces. To mark its 10th anniversary, the event expanded to an unprecedented two-day format, bringing over 60 premier employers into a warm, cozy, and vibrant venue designed to foster direct face-to-face engagement.
Prof. Albert IP encourages our first- and second-year students to take the initiative early in career planning.
Students connect face-to-face with top employers, exploring career opportunities and industry insights firsthand.
This milestone event was made possible through the generous support of our event partners (in alphabetical order): Benefit Cosmetics HK, Jobsdb Hong Kong, and AIinterviewCoach.io | OnMyGrad, who are deeply committed to supporting our students in preparing for the job market.
The intimate venue setup created a bustling atmosphere throughout both days, drawing a record turnout exceeding 2,000 students. The event highlighted a proactive shift in campus career readiness, attracting not only final-year and penultimate-year students pursuing graduate roles and summer internships, but also an impressive number of first-year and second-year students taking early initiative.
Students join the “Business Grooming” workshop, learning how to make a lasting first impression.
Innovation is not limited to start-ups or new products. It is a mindset of how we solve problems, improve processes, and create value for customers and society. Our goal is to equip students with creativity, agility, and an entrepreneurial spirit, so they can thrive in changing industries and help shape what comes next.
— Prof. Stephen SHUM, Dean of CityUHK College of Business
To support students across a diverse spectrum of career paths, the two-day fair brought together sector-focused opportunities:
- Day 1: 33 leading employers from banking and finance, Big 4, and consulting firms
- Day 2: 27 premier employers across CPA, major conglomerates, hotel & hospitality, technology & telecommunications, public utilities, and marketing agencies
Business Career Fair is not merely a recruitment platform, it is a strategic ecosystem where high-calibre talent meets corporate vision. Career development is a shared responsibility, and when employers absorb fresh talent while students proactively rise to meet corporate standards, we build a robust economic future for Hong Kong and beyond.
— Prof. Albert IP, Chairman of the Career Development Advisory Committee for Business Bachelor’s and Master’s Programmes
The College of Business extends its heartfelt gratitude to our event partners, participating employers, alumni, and workshop leads who have supported the fair over the past decade.
Industry partners interested in exploring future recruitment collaborations, campus talks, or corporate project partnerships are invited to connect with the College of Business Career and Student Enrichment Team.
