Demonstrate the perfect integration of cutting-edge technology and personalized guidance to provide comprehensive career guidance
Press Release
Shue Yan University of Hong Kong has recently released a research report on the importance of establishing self-identity for young people, pointing out that nearly 80% of the secondary school students surveyed were confused about their future life path, and a quarter of them said they did not actively explore their future direction. The research team recommends that schools and youth service agencies allocate more resources and implement different types of career planning support for young people to help them actively explore, establish and invest in their personal development. As a technology education (EdTech) company that combines cutting-edge technology with personalized guidance, Uni-D has established the "Uni-D One-Stop Education Technology Platform" (Uni-D Platform), with the concept of "Discover, Progress, and Achieve" students' university dreams, and specializes in customizing educational plans and providing professional counseling for students. From understanding their interests and building resumes to applying for local and overseas institutions, the Uni-D Platform provides education information and appropriate guidance to help students make the best university and career decisions.
Uni-D held a platform unveiling ceremony at the Innovation Centre in Kowloon Tong on 7 June, introducing and demonstrating the various functions of the Uni-D platform.
The Uni-D Platform is a self-exploration tool for further studies and career counseling. It integrates the latest educational technology and personalized learning guidance. Through counseling on course selection, study planning or interview skills, it provides students with all-round learning support, helping them discover themselves and face future challenges more confidently. The platform has five major functions, including professional field exploration (Passion Finder), extracurricular activity exploration (ECA Finder), interactive university map (Interactive Uni Map), skill diagnoses (Skill Assessments), and consultation with education counselors (Find Educator). The platform collects course information from local and overseas universities, and provides free extracurricular activities and subject-related reading suggestions to help students equip themselves.
Passion Finder | It provides an overview of almost 100 professional development directions. Based on their personal interests, students can search for relevant professional subjects, such as law, architecture, education, aviation, medicine, performing arts and fine arts, business, engineering, media, humanities and social sciences, etc. The platform recommends a list of books, videos and podcasts as reference for each major, allowing students to learn according to their needs and explore different career options , so as to better plan their future academic and professional development. |
ECA Finder | According to university major subjects, activity type and grade classification, the platform collects and organizes a comprehensive and rich series of extracurricular activities for students from grades 7 to 12, including internships, summer plans, competitions, community services, writing, scientific research, etc. Students can choose activities that suit them based on their professional interests, which not only enriches their personal resume, but also lays a solid foundation for future studies. |
Interactive Uni Map | Gathering information on universities around the world, students only need to enter the name of the university of interest in the search box to quickly locate the institution on the interactive map. They can also instantly learn about the university and its admissions, including the university's profile, geographical location, number of students, admission rate, tuition fees, etc. Through the interactive map, students can gather detailed information of universities around the globe at a glance and discover the most suitable courses and future paths for themselves. |
Skills Assessment Diagnoses | Students can submit their writings and mock interview videos to the platform for assessment. The tool accurately evaluates their writing and interview skills. Experienced admissions and education experts provide scores, strengths and weaknesses analysis, and improvement suggestions. With personalized feedback and strategies, students can become familiar with the interview process, master answering techniques, and enhance their communication skills, enabling them to present their best selves. |
Find Educator | Students connect with a network of industry experts, former/current university professors, and experienced educational consultants to receive personalized guidance and insights, ensuring they understand the practical applications of their knowledge and the nuances of various industries. |

In addition, the Uni-D platform has advantages that distinguish it from other overseas education solution companies. While there are numerous overseas education exhibitions, consultants, and organizations available on the market, there is a lack of personalized services that analyze data and conduct assessments for students. Even though these platforms claim to provide professional educational consulting services, they rarely provide detailed information about team members, leading to inconsistent quality. Uni-D is developed by a professional team with extensive experience, offering personal growth exploration and development support. It also offers internship programs to provide students with opportunities for work experience, skill enhancement, career exploration, professional networking, mentoring, and personal growth, preparing them for future entry into the workforce and enriching their personal learning portfolios. The Uni-D platform can address common gaps in the industry, allowing parents and students to gain a more thorough understanding of educational information and plan their future academic and career paths.
In addition to receiving support from the Hong Kong Science Park and becoming an incubated enterprise, Uni-D has started establishing partnerships with partners from various industries from early 2024, including electronic payment service provider AsiaPay. By collaborating with multiple strong partners, Uni-D aims to further enhance the platform's functionalities, providing students with more convenient and efficient educational services, thereby helping them achieve both academic and career success. In May, Uni-D also ventured beyond Hong Kong, participating in "SusHi Tech Tokyo 2024" as the only educational startup from Hong Kong. At this event, Uni-D showcased its concepts and strengths in the field of educational technology to a global audience, garnering significant attention from many attendees.
Uni-D CEO, Tina Wu and AsiaPay Founder and CEO, Joseph Chan officially signed the agreement at the opening ceremony, The strategic cooperation agreement hopes to bring more abundant resources and broader development prospects to students.
“Our platform aims to provide a one-stop tool for students, parents and schools, making university and career exploration accessible and informative. Our goal is to empower the next generation to make decisions that will lead them to a fulfilling career and life,” said Tina. She also revealed that local schools have subscribed to the Uni-D platform for their students. In the future, she hopes to use student data to train artificial intelligence (AI) models, and use AI models to respond to common questions and provide assistance from students and parents in real time, thereby reducing some of the team’s work and allowing team members to focus more on providing personalized support. The team is also actively optimizing the platform's functions and inviting more experts from different professional fields to join, providing diversified and professional counseling to ensure that students can receive the most comprehensive support and soar to greater heights.
