Yes, you will have to accept the first placement offer. You should also note that once you accept a placement offer, interviews for other hiring companies will be called off. Neither should you seek further job opportunities through your own network.
Yes, but an approval from OCEP is required before you commit with the company. You will have to send the supporting materials to OCEP while OCEP will assess if the placement you secure through your own network will be suitable and relevant to the Programme.
Students are required to complete a placement of around eight months in two work terms. The exact placement duration will be subject to the job specification by the hiring companies.
Experiencing difficulties and overcoming them is a learning process.
If you encounter problems, you may first seek assistance or advice from your immediate supervisor in the workplace. If necessary, you can contact staff at OCEP while we help contact the company on your behalf. You should not leave your placement without the permission of OCEP. Instead, staff at OCEP is always here to assist. What you need is to simply send us an email or make a phone call. Staff at OCEP will also arrange a visit at your workplace, as to understand how your placement is going.
Students will need to compete for jobs just like in the real world. CUHK cannot guarantee any placement, as they are subject to employers’ ultimate hiring decisions as well as job market conditions.
Working closely with the CUHK Co-op advisors, proactively working on any feedback you receive and meeting all deadlines will benefit you during your job search journey.
