Benefits and Responsibilities

Employers’ Benefits to On-board a Co-op Student

Boost Innovation

With the new economy rapidly evolving, employers can tap into students’ innovative ideas, creative perspectives and novel approaches to ride high in the digital age.

Capture Talent

Competition for talent is intensifying. By making a proactive decision to become a Co-op Partner, employers can identify, recruit and invest in high-calibre individuals at an early stage.

Furthermore, it will enhance a firm’s long-term graduate recruitment strategy.

Bolster Mentorship

Unlike typical internships, Co-op@CUHK helps employers closely observe and assess the potential of a student for nearly eight months. Such engagement can help corporations build up their mentoring capabilities while reducing costs and risks in staff training.

Enhance Corporate Image

Employers can enhance their corporate image by providing students with job training opportunities. Apart from fulfilling their social responsibility, employers can augment their reputation on campus in more ways than one.
