Valuable Capital was also encouraged to provide internship and job opportunities for HKBU students.
Alumnus Sunny Wan proposed to Valuable Capital to jointly organise with HKBUGBAAA a competition on investment simulation, with the debut round open to all HKBU students. The winners of the competition may be offered cash prizes, complimentary field study tours on the Mainland, or internship opportunities in the GBA.
