For further information, please visit Programme Overview The Management Trainee Programme at HKEx has the goal of nurturing bright and young talent and grooming them into future leaders. The 28-month Programme is an intensive development programme combining interactive learning, personal and group coaching and senior management exposure with on-the-job training. As a result, Trainees develop a spectrum of experience, an open mind and a broad understanding of different aspects of HKEx's business and management. The Programme kicks off in September with two months of orientation and professional / technical skills training, followed by two rotational postings with different divisions of HKEx, which allow Trainees enough time to become familiar with the work of their division, interact with other divisions, contribute to the growth of the business and, importantly, get a real feel for life at HKEx. Throughout the Programme, a Management Trainee Manager and staff from each division will provide guidance and coaching to Trainees to facilitate their learning. By the end of the 28-month Programme, HKEx will work with each Trainee to align their strengths and career aspirations with the strategic direction of HKEx and identify the best suitable position in the organisation for a full-time role.
