Student Sharing:

“The HKGCC Pitch Perfect Programme 2024 has been an invaluable learning experience for me on multiple levels. I have learned a tremendous amount about resilience, adaptability, and effective communication. The high-pressure pitch competition environment challenged me to think quickly, respond to tough questions, and maintain composure under stress. I am enormously grateful to have been a part of this experience, and I know the skills and connections I have gained will continue to serve me well in my career.”
(by Miss Chan Chun Yan Natalie)

“Having mentors like Mr. Victor Lam, JP, who brought the perspective of a business owner, and Mr. Kevin So, Arcadis, who brought the perspective of a corporate, they both provided me a lot of guidance and answered all of our questions about presenting oneself at an interview. My public speaking skills have definitely improved, and I have been given various tips on how to best present myself in a job interview setting.”
(by Mr. Singh Karndeep)
