The Taught Postgraduate Programmes Office of the Faculty of Business concluded the TPg Career Week 2024 with a highly anticipated session, "Dialogue with CEO," on 28 March 2024.  This event stood out as a remarkable finale to a week filled with enriching career development opportunities for students.

Engaging Insight with Mr. Calvin TSANG:

We were privileged to host Mr. Calvin TSANG, Chairman of Esquel China Holdings Ltd., along with his assistant, Mr. Timmy LI, for an engaging and enlightening dialogue.  Mr. Tsang, who oversees the operations and strategic initiatives of Esquel Group in China, shared his wealth of knowledge and experience in leading a global innovation-driven company renowned for its commitment to sustainable development in the textile and apparel industry.

Through captivating stories and insights, Mr. Tsang encouraged students to consider their passions and potential career trajectories.  He highlighted how Esquel Group's ethos of innovation and sustainability is encapsulated in their "Integral — Esquel's Sustainable Development Garden," providing a tangible example of how businesses can integrate sustainable practices into their core strategies.

 

 

Interactive Q&A with Students:

Meanwhile, students actively asked questions to Mr. Tsang, especially those in the Master of Science in Environmental, Social, and Governance Management Programme. They seized this rare opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of career paths in sustainable development.

 

The session sparked keen interest, particularly among students from the Master of Science in Environmental, Social, and Governance Management (ESGM) Programme, who eagerly engaged with Mr. TSANG. They took advantage of this unique opportunity to delve deeper into sustainable development careers, gaining invaluable guidance and perspectives from a seasoned industry leader.

 

In appreciation of his contributions, Prof. SHI Shanshan, Associate Dean (Taught Postgraduate Studies) and Director of the Taught Postgraduate Programmes Office of the Faculty of Business, presented Mr. TSANG with a souvenir, symbolizing our gratitude for sharing his time and insights.

 

Luncheon and Further Insights from Mr. Timmy LI:

Following the session, Mr. Timmy LI joined the students for a luncheon, where he continued to share his personal experiences and encouraged students to explore various interests and career paths.  This intimate gathering allowed students to gain further advice and inspiration, marking a fitting end to a week dedicated to career exploration and development.

 

The "Dialogue with CEO" session not only provided students with a broader perspective on the role of sustainability in business but also inspired them to pursue careers that align with their values and interests.  As TPg Career Week 2024 draws to a close, we reflect on the impactful discussions, valuable learnings, and the myriad of opportunities unveiled to our students.  We remain committed to fostering environments where students can connect with industry leaders and envision their future career paths with clarity and purpose.
