Jointly organised by the College of Science, College of Computing, College of Engineering, and School of Energy and Environment, STEM Career Fair 2026 successfully took place at the City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) earlier. As the first career event in this year and CityUHK’s sole STEM-focused fair, it served over 4,000 students across 13 departments and 27 disciplines from the organising colleges and schools.
The event drew 72 leading companies and two prominent professional associations — The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE) and Hong Kong Institute of Human Resource Management (HKIHRM). Participating organisations included CATL, CLP, Deloitte, Gammon Construction, Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks, IBM China/Hong Kong, KPMG, PwC, and Siemens. Recruiters commended the students’ enthusiasm, the diverse talent pool spanning multiple disciplines, the convenient venue, and substantial attendance, describing it as an optimal platform for talent acquisition, brand promotion, and direct student interaction.
A major highlight was the Super Connect Networking Lunch, which gathered approximately 150 distinguished guests from various sectors, including Ir Alice Chow Kin-tak, President of HKIE; Mr Ian Choy, President of HKIHRM; senior executives from multinational corporations (MNC); technical directors; human resources directors; college leadership; and department heads. Participants praised the event as an exceptional platform for supporting faculty members in establishing closer networks with industry, identifying project opportunities, and enhancing student employment and internship prospects.
To enhance students’ employability, the fair organised Career Coaching, Winning CV Workshop, and Styling and Image Workshop, attracting more than 240 students and generating a response that far exceeded expectations. The first-ever One-Day Mentorship Programme invited 17 industry mentors from 11 sectors to mentor around 70 students in small groups, facilitating in-depth discussions on career development that received acclaim from both mentors and students. Additionally, individual coaching sessions were led by professional coaches, including human resources leaders from MNC and specialists from the Greater Bay Area, providing students with tailored career advice.
CityUHK’s STEM Career Fair has consistently received widespread support and high praise from employers, with many organisations regarding it as a key annual recruitment event. This triumph underscores CityUHK’s firm commitment to cultivating top STEM talent and driving the development of innovation and technology.
