The newly established <strong>Asia-Pacific Academy of Executive Management (APAEM)<\/strong> has recently concluded its inaugural programme \u2013 the 2025 HKU Public Administration Training Programme.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis programme marks a new chapter for our faculty, blending academic insights with real-world perspectives, and brings together people who share a common dedication to the public good,\u201d remarked Professor Fong, Associate Dean (Teaching and Learning), in his welcoming address.<\/p>\n<p>Over five immersive days, 22 young professionals engaged deeply with essential concepts and emerging insights in governance and policy leadership. The curriculum was further enriched by practical site visits to key public and private institutions at the heart of Hong Kong\u2019s governance landscape, including AVESCO, HKMA, ICAC, and LegCo, among others. APAEM gratefully acknowledges the hospitality and support of our institutional partners, which contributed significantly to the success of these experiential learning opportunities.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-33394 \" src=\"https:\/\/web.socsc.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"506\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.socsc.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/7.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/web.socsc.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/web.socsc.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/7-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/web.socsc.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/7-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 506px) 100vw, 506px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-33395 \" src=\"https:\/\/web.socsc.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"616\" height=\"339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.socsc.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/8.jpg 582w, https:\/\/web.socsc.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/8-300x165.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-33390 \" src=\"https:\/\/web.socsc.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"374\" height=\"249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.socsc.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/3.jpg 984w, https:\/\/web.socsc.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/web.socsc.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/3-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 374px) 100vw, 374px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-33389 \" src=\"https:\/\/web.socsc.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"373\" height=\"248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.socsc.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/2.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/web.socsc.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/web.socsc.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/web.socsc.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/2-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 373px) 100vw, 373px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-33393\" src=\"https:\/\/web.socsc.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/6-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"374\" height=\"249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.socsc.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/web.socsc.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/web.socsc.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/6.jpg 984w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 374px) 100vw, 374px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One participant shared, \u201cThe outstanding team of professors delivered cutting-edge insights.
