Hong Kong, 7 June 2021 - 3 Hong Kong, the mobile arm of Hutchison Telecommunications Hong Kong Holdings Limited (HTHKH; stock code: 215) has kick-started its 2021 Management Trainee Programme. This year, fresh graduates are invited to apply for the Programme to help accelerate the new digital era and promote Hong Kong as a smart city.

Devoted to nurturing young talent and injecting new thinking into 3 Hong Kong
Kenny Koo, HTHKH Executive Director and CEO, said: "The future is in the hands of our youth, and nurturing the new generation of the telecoms industry is our responsibility. 3 Hong Kong has successfully launched the Management Trainee Programme last year to inject new thinking and to tap the energy and creative minds of our management trainees which can speed up 3 Hong Kong's transformation into a digital operator in the new 5G era. By advancing and empowering the younger management workforce, we can facilitate sustainable business development for the Company. Moreover, we can better understand the latest trends of the youth market and formulate up-to-date business strategies which can satisfy the needs of young consumers, leading into the new 5G digital era with our customers."

Over 1000 applications during the first launch and enrolment to start this year
Despite the pandemic and a challenging market environment last year, 3 Hong Kong undertook this initiative as a socially responsible employer, and launched the Management Trainee Programme last year to nurture the new generation for the telecom industry, attracting over 1000 applications from fresh graduates spanning nine local universities. After an intense selection process, over 30 applicants were chosen as 3 Hong Kong's first batch of management trainees. 3 Hong Kong has launched the Programme again in May this year to promote its sustainable business development.

Gaining a holistic view via job rotation and reverse mentorship
The Management Trainee Programme lasts for 12 months and offers a superior remuneration package and intensive training on job competencies and leadership. More than 50% of the training time is focused on new technology knowledge sharing, executive sharing, basic competency training and project-based experience training. Every management trainee undergoes job rotations and is assigned to different departments to gain an all-round understanding of 3 Hong Kong's operations. The experience from cooperating and interacting with different departments can enhance their reverse thinking ability, which are beneficial to the future career development of management trainees.

The training offers management trainees a chance to create business strategies, where they would undergo periodic assessments including project status reporting and opinion exchange. They would also have opportunities to implement and execute projects. What's more, management trainees will join a mentoring scheme where management executives are assigned as mentors to provide guidance on practical working skills and share valuable experiences. Apart from traditional mentoring by experienced executives, the management trainees also act as reverse mentors for the executives by sharing their knowledge and perspectives of new and shifting trends. This initiative stimulates the innovative minds of both parties, and enables them to better grasp the market trends.

After the 12-month comprehensive training, 3 Hong Kong will assign the management trainees to work at different departments according to their strengths and performance, allowing them to develop their career either along a management or professional path.

Interested parties are invited to send their CV to mtcareer@hthk.com to apply for 2021 3HK's Management Trainee Programme.
