The Way to Success Workshops and Mentorship Programme (TWTS) is for students who desire to better equip themselves to achieve their personal and professional goals. The Programme consists of Level I and Level II which are designed with different theoretical and practical focuses, in order to incorporate the Programme’s main theme in a comprehensive way.  Level I offers you a series of workshops and mentorship from HKU alumni, successful leaders and executives. In particular, those who aspire to become a leader will benefit greatly from it. You can learn from seasoned leaders and executives, engage in interactive workshops, enjoy small-group and 1-to-1 mentorship, and develop life skills for long-term personal and professional success. The programme covers a variety of topics including: The Way to Success, Time & Life Management, Job Application & Mock Interviews, Trust & Integrity, Impactful Leadership – serving others and being the bridge, CQ & Global Mindset, EQ & Relationships, Conflict Management, Failing Forward and Career Development.

With the aim to develop an enhanced and more advanced level of the programme for the Level I alumni, Level II focuses on bringing classroom learning into a real work-simulation environment through a field service project and putting the core themes covered in Level I into practice.

Level I is a pre-approved programme under the Credit Award Scheme for Out-of-classroom Learning Experiences. Students who successfully completed the Programme will be eligible to earn one credit of the Credit Award Scheme by submitting an application to the Horizons Office for formal approval. Please note that Level II is currently not under the Credit Award Scheme.

Both Level I and Level II have been listed as Lead for Life certified courses.
