Leading in the social service sector requires a diverse set of knowledge and an adaptive mindset. I am highly impressed with how this programme has equipped me with practical knowledge and a strategic perspective, enabling me to become a more comprehensive leader. The opportunities to engage with experienced professors, lecturers, and classmates from diverse backgrounds have provided me with valuable insights for my work.
The programme has changed my views on how the social welfare in Hong Kong should operate and provide me insight into how the function and roles of a manager need to change. Indeed, the programme provide a good chance for me to equip myself with a strategic and analytical mindset, and integration of different knowledge from related social welfare settings professionally. It is beneficial to my career development.
I have been working as a frontline social worker for years, and I begin taking up a middle-management role. Yet, I have never been equipped with comprehensive management knowledge. This program has enabled me to network with other students from different professional backgrounds. With the sharing from and discussion with peers, I could grasp a holistic picture in the social service industry. This program design is very holistic.
The programme is very helpful and the learning is fruitful. The curriculum is well structured and the lectures are well prepared and qualified for the teaching. Mutual learning from other classmates through group projects is joyful.
The programme not only equip me with the knowledge and acquire skills, but also brings me new insights, sharpen my analytical skills and broaden my vision through communicating with professionals from the NGO sector, all these are important elements for my career development to be a more professional and up-to-the-time CSR practitioner.
