Startin in September 2026, CFA Society Hong Kong is introducing the new initiative "Student Engagement Program" (SEP), a community for university students, graduates and industry practitioners to connect and exchange ideas, gain career insights and build professional network.
Participants of the SEP will be invited to an exclusive LinkedIn Group to initiate conversations, exchange ideas, and make meaningful connections.
In addition, the Society will provide multiple workshops and events, such as a Mock Interview Workshop and a Speed-Mentoring Gathering, exclusively for SEP participants throughout the year.

Who can Join the SEP?
SEP Students: Current and past participants of the CFA Institute Research Challenge and Student Associate members of CFA Society Hong Kong
SEP Alumni: Graduated Research Challenge participants and industry professionals who have supported the Research Challenge
Involvement in the SEP offers a valuable opportunity to network with industry professionals and recent finance graduates, which are connections that can significantly boost students' career progression.
There are no minimum commitment requirements, as we want SEP to be an ongoing community of student-practitioner networking, with new members joining every year. However, we encourage both SEP Students and SEP Alumni to actively engage with other participants in the LinkedIn Group to keep the community active.
How to Join the SEP?
If you are interested in becoming a SEP Student or SEP Alumnus, simply request to join the LinkedIn Group using your LinkedIn account.
The Society will review your identity and eligibility before approving your request.

In addition to attending the SEP as general participants, university students who want to take a more active role can also apply to become Youth Ambassadors.
