Hong Kong Airlines Cabin Crew
I am very grateful to the teachers who were willing to help us in their personal time and provide a lot of professional advices, which enhanced my interest in the subject. LiPACE encouraged us to participate in different extracurricular activities. Although the learning process is hard, I think it is worthy and meaningful. The programme gave us the opportunity to work as an intern so that we can apply what we have learned in real world situations. During the internship, I realized that the different knowledge of the aviation industry has broadened my horizons and strengthened my network. JASL awarded a scholarship to me that gave me strength and confidence in my career development. Today I finally become a flight attendant, fulfilling my childhood dream. In the future, I hope I can continue to fly and enjoy my work life.

I have since then articulated to the ‘Bachelor of International Hospitality and Attractions Management’ at OUHK.
