This is why I applied for the programme &#8211; I wanted to make a difference in an industry that I love. The programme equipped me with crucial multi-disciplinary fundamentals that gave me a great base to pursue a career in sustainability. The practical knowledge I gained from the programme is so adaptable, it didn&#8217;t matter which industry I ultimately decided to enter.\u00a0 The lecturers and my classmates provided a fantastic environment that allowed for collaborative discussions and cross-sectoral learning. Apart from the modules and topics that were delivered throughout the programme, it was these soft-skills that were developed through insightful and constructive conversations (and sometimes arguments) that are my biggest takeaways. Having a classroom of people from different industries, all working towards the common goal of making a positive impact created a truly dynamic and robust learning experience.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">LinkedIn:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/samanthagdemello\/\">https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/samanthagdemello\/<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-569d675\" data-id=\"569d675\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cd33f3a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"cd33f3a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"562\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/slgp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Samantha-e1689061510416.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/slgp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Samantha-e1689061510416.jpg 562w, https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/slgp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Samantha-e1689061510416-300x240.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 562px) 100vw, 562px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Role: ESG<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e114f17 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"e114f17\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Having a classroom of people from different industries, all working towards the common goal of making a positive impact created a truly dynamic and robust learning experience.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6925,"parent":371,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"categories":[5],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/slgp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4362"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/slgp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/slgp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/slgp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/slgp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4362"}],"version-history":[{"count":18,"href":"https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/slgp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4362\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6972,"href":"https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/slgp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4362\/revisions\/6972"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/slgp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/371"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/slgp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6925"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/slgp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4362"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/slgp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4362"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
