The hard work and achievements of predecessors have provided Isabella Leung, Management Trainee 2017, with a solid foundation to build a brighter future and chase her dream, defining Gen Z’s career path.

Isabella said Gen Z is willing to try and take on challenges, always pushes beyond their limits. Take Hang Lung Management Trainee Program as an example, many people would be hesitant about leaving their hometown alone, as the program requires Hong Kong management trainees to rotate to work on the Mainland for half a year. However, Isabella took this as a valuable opportunity to broaden her horizons. “The experience of working and living alone in Dalian and Kunming were precious growth opportunities for me,” said Isabella. Apart from personal growth, Isabella recalled that during her six-month rotation in Kunming, she had to walk up and down 10 flights of stairs to check the construction process and go to work by bicycle every day – taking traditional “work experience” to a whole other level! Isabella said she lost around 10 pounds over the year because of all the exercise, giving her a different kind of takeaway from the experience.
