香港中文大學(中大)工程學院創新科技中心每年均與業界合作,為校內升讀最後修業年的工程學系學生提供為期一年的實習計劃。今年香港雖然受到金融海嘯的衝擊,但僱主提供的實習職位平均月薪仍有七千元,反映本港僱主仍然願意以合理薪酬聘請人材。 今年參與中大創新科技中心實習計劃的公司,截至現時為止共有64間,雖然比去年的總數95間為少,但實習職位的平均月薪仍有七千元,只比去年的七千九百元略為下調,而最高薪的更有九千元。中心主任兼中大工程學院外務副院長黃錦輝教授表示:「大部分參與實習計劃的公司已經與中心合作了兩、三年。在金融海嘯影響下,他們仍然願意以平均七千元聘請還未畢業的中大學生,可見僱主依然以合理薪酬聘請優秀的人材。現時不少公司都希望透過開發資訊科技系統達至開源節流的目的,所以修讀工程學科的學生不用過分擔心。」其中一名中大電子工程學系二年級生,已率先被一間電子產品公司以月薪七千元聘請為工程師見習生,將於今年六月開始為期一年的實習。 黃錦輝教授表示,參與的同學在選擇實習崗位時,除了考慮薪酬之外,亦會著重實習崗位能否提供學習機會。「去年有學生同時被兩間公司聘請,但考慮到薪酬較低的那個崗位有較多學習機會,最後就放棄了薪酬較高的那一份工作。」黃錦輝教授呼籲今年的準大學畢業生別失去信心,選擇工作時別忽略學習機會,在艱難的日子要努力裝備自己。

香港中文大學(中大)機械與自動化工程學系的博士生劉璐,在去年底修畢博士學位後即獲東京大學垂青,聘任為信息科學與科技研究院的助理教授,並將於今年四月正式上任。 根據譽滿學界的《泰晤士報高等教育特刊》2008年全球頂尖大學排行榜「科技」組別的評分,日本東京大學工程學院排名第九,全亞洲則排名第一。能夠獲聘於蜚聲國際的東京大學工程學院,劉璐認為除了個人的努力和學術成績外,更重要是因為得到老師的悉心栽培和具備國際視野。「我原本對工程學並不是特別熱愛,但來到中大之後,我的指導老師黃捷教授卻大大擴闊了我的眼界;加上中大為研究生提供很多參加國際學術會議的機會,得以吸收最新的資訊和技術,並與世界級學者交流砥礪,令我對研究工作愈感興趣,亦因而有所進步。」 More

在保就業,創就業的大前提下,本報獲悉,港府在周三公布的預算案傾向資助大學畢業生到私人機構實習一年,在本地實習的大學生可望獲得二千元資助;而在內地實習,由於涉及住宿等生活費,傾向資助三千元。不過,青年民建聯一項調查發現,有逾四成大專生希望獲得五千元實習津貼。多個團體在預算案即將公布前夕,到政府總部請願,勞工團體職工盟希望港府能全方位解決就業問題,而公民黨也提出「綠色飯碗保民生」。消息人士透露,保就業是即將公布《財政預算案》的主題,考慮到大學畢業生在金融海嘯下,難以尋找工作,希望以一年實習期,協助畢業生在私人機構學習,以便在經濟好轉後,即時投入工作。 本地實習僅資助二千 由於現行勞工及福利局的就業資助計畫中,所有學生只有每月二千元津貼,希望劃一處理,不過,也有意見認為,大學畢業生要在內地實習涉及住宿等生活開支,應以三千元為津貼。據悉,財政司司長曾俊華考慮到兩方意見後,傾向在本地實習者有二千元津貼,在內地則有三千元。… (星島日報 A01 / 要聞) 200902023
