In order to support the 2021 internship career experience programme organised by the Labour Affairs Bureau (DSAL) for the second year, Galaxy Entertainment Group (GEG) relaunched the U-LEAD Graduate Internship Programme (“U-LEAD”).
Offering a three-month integrated resorts internship to university graduates, U-LEAD aims to give participants the work experience needed to develop their professional skills, enhance their competitiveness, and build a stronger foundation for their future careers.
This year’s U-LEAD continues to provide a variety of internship opportunities across a number of departments, including Hotel Operations, Housekeeping, Marketing and Facilities Management, and others. Integrating comprehensive skills training and professional guidance, U-LEAD will provide up to 200 hours of corporate, departmental and on-the-job training to all participants so that they can enhance their professional skills, accumulate work experiences and obtain a deeper understanding of the operations of large-scale integrated resorts. In addition, last year’s popular “SiFu-support” scheme has also been included in this year’s programme and experienced team members or department heads from different departments will continue to serve as “SiFus” (mentors) and provide guidance to the participants so that they can learn more about the operations of respective departments and gain insight into the professional skills and experience of their mentors.
Prior to U-LEAD’s commencement, GEG co-hosted two open days in cooperation with DSAL and organised a U-LEAD Career Development Day to help interested university graduates learn more about the programme and the potential career paths. During the open days, participants visited various departments including Hotel Operations, F&B, and Facilities Management at Galaxy Hotel and interacted with the related department heads. Participants from last year’s U-LEAD were also invited to share their experiences of working at GEG so that the graduates could know more about GEG’s work environment, corporate culture and development opportunities. Meanwhile, on the Career Development Day, besides providing participants with details of U-LEAD, GEG also engaged them in role-plays and discussions with department heads so that they could explore GEG’s career opportunities and get prepared for their future career development. – gegpr
