To provide insights for secondary students into the legal profession, Standard Chartered Bank joined hands with an international law firm, Slaughter and May, to launch a legal workshop / mentorship programme for students of Lok Sin Tong Leung Kau Kui College.  The programme began with a legal workshop at the Standard Chartered Bank Building on 7 September 2023, where the lawyers shared their personal journeys to becoming lawyers and glimpses of legal work.

After the workshop, 16 lawyers from the two organisations were paired with 22 students as mentors and mentees.  Through meetings and emails, both mentors and mentees have built up their rapport to discuss their personal goals and ambitions, as well as helping the mentees to navigate their academic journey and provide career advice.  Looking ahead, the mentorship programme envisions a positive impact on the students’ personal growth and career aspirations.
