FCLU equips its graduates with the means to work outside Hong Kong
WHEN STUDENTS graduated from the original Polytechnic University's faculty of construction and land use 70 years ago, most would certainly have spent their working careers confined to Hong Kong.
Now it is almost as certain that many of them will, at some stage, use their skills elsewhere with careers on the mainland or further afield.
Andrew Baldwin, dean of the faculty of construction and land use (FCLU), said graduates now had far more options when looking for work.
'There is an increasing awareness that students who come through PolyU will not spend their working lives in Hong Kong.
'Quite clearly, things are changing and our students will work in other parts of Asia and the mainland. This is the message we give them and increasingly they're accepting this.'
