Dear all EOII and PCI/PCII Staff,

We would like to invite your application to be our “MBA Staff Ambassador” for the coming study tour to “Japan Study Tour” as organized by our students.

1. The new HR Scheme

“Developing HR practices to cultivate the Right Culture for retaining the Right Talents” is one of the 12 Strategic Actions outlined in our 5 Strategic Roadmap, which aims to achieve 3 Strategic Hallmarks for our MBA Office by 2024 and 2025.

As part of this dynamic initiative, we are pleased to introduce our new HR scheme, “Enhancing Engagement and Contribution: Study Tours and Study Trips“, which aims to encourage your contribution and participation in our upcoming study tours and study trips.

1. Objectives of the Scheme:
   1. Promoting Staff-Student Collaboration: By participating in our study tours and study trips, staff members will have the valuable opportunity to collaborate directly with our students, sharing their expertise and insights to enhance the students’ educational journey.
   2. Facilitating On-the-Job Learning: By joining our study tours and study trips, staff members will have the chance to undergo job experience enlargement and on-the-job learning alongside the students during the tours and trips. This will also foster mutual learning, benefiting both staff and students.
   3. Diversifying Contributing to the MBA Programme: Involvement in study tours and study trips will enable staff members to make diversified and recognized HR contributions to the development of our MBA Programme.
