Manager Trainee Programme

Working in the public sector always excites me, as serving the people for the betterment of society has long been my career aspiration. The Manager Trainee (MT) Programme at the HKMA was the perfect landing, and the journey so far has been nothing short of spectacular. Rotating through different departments has prompted me to step out of my comfort  zone, deepening my knowledge and broadening my horizon.  Highlights of my experience include taking part in organising the Hong Kong Green Week, as well as being immersed in the realm of reserve management during my rotation in the Exchange Fund Investment Office. 

My MT journey is a rewarding one in the sense of honed adaptability and versatility, coupled with a stronger commitment to upholding the HKMA’s multifaceted missions.

I have always been committed to public service, a calling I fulfil at the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA).

A crucial function of the HKMA is to maintain Hong Kong's status as an international financial centre.  In my first posting, I actively contributed to fintech projects, including the Hong Kong FinTech Week (HKFTW), and two wholesale Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) projects, Project mBridge and Project Ensemble, which are vital to the development of Hong Kong’s financial infrastructure.  Helping to organise the HKFTW was a rewarding experience, providing me with invaluable opportunities to engage stakeholders in the global financial market and fintech ecosystem.  Being involved in the CBDC projects deepened my understanding of emerging technologies and innovations like tokenisation.  Complementing my work on digital money, I learnt about the latest high-technology security features employed in the printing of physical notes through a training at Hong Kong Note Printing Limited.

Looking ahead, I am excited to expose myself to different areas of the HKMA through the Manager Trainee Programme, embracing both opportunities and challenges in my professional development.
