In response to the rapid development of the University and the expansion of the Hengqin campus, the role of mid-level administrative management is particularly important. Therefore, the University organized the “Training Development Program for Mid-level Administrative Management 2024” in October 2024, aiming to enhance the leadership abilities, management skills, and professional knowledge of mid-level administrative management, and preparing them to better tackle any upcoming challenges.

33 invited faculty secretaries and functional heads of faculties and institutes participated in this program, which consists of 24 training hours that covers a range of essential management skills and operational knowledge.

The first part of the program is a 18-hour management training session conducted by an external instructor from Hong Kong Professional Training Centre. Training topics included Effective Communication via Personality Dimensions, Coaching Leadership and Performance Management, and Problem-solving with Innovation.

The second part is a 6-hour practical knowledge and experience sharing by internal units. We have cordially invited Dr. Katrina CHEONG, Director of Communications Office, to share on the topic “How to Build Up a Good Image for Your Unit”, Ms. Angela PANG and Mr. Indy CHENG, Heads of Budget Section and Accounts Section of Finance Office, to share about “Budget Planning and Reimbursement Procedures”, as well as Ms. Cindy IEONG & Ms. Elisa LAI, representatives of Procurement Section of Office of Administration, to share on “Procurement and Tender Process”.

Through this program, the participants not only enriched their knowledge and mindset by interacting with instructor and other participants, but also elevated understanding and strengthened skills on different subjects. It is believed that this learning experience will enable the participants to contribute to the development of the University going forward.
