The internship opportunity allowed me learning more from the actual working environment, and increasing my competitiveness and acceptance after graduation. I got the valuable opportunity to work in one international hotel chain, Grand Hyatt Hong Kong, which not only enriched my culinary skills, but also gave me a chance of applying knowledge I learnt from HKCT into this global hotel group.
Through the extensive range of experiential learning activities, this Higher Diploma programme provided me with vocational direction and fostered me to further develop my professionalism in culinary and catering sector by articulating to relevant bachelor degree programme."
