The Student Stage Trainee Program will equip HKUST students with the basic event production knowledge in a professional stage and theater setting. In addition to getting hands-on experience in stage management, sound design, lighting and video technology needed in a real-life backstage setting, the trainees will also familiarize themselves with the ins and outs of the stage and backstage protocols, gaining a fresh perspective and professional experience from theatre and entertainment arts programs. Most importantly, they will be able to participate in the daily operations of the Shaw Auditorium in future.

The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology celebrated today the groundbreaking of its multi-purpose auditorium - a new landmark of the University not only allows hosting of large events, but also adds much needed space for teaching and cultural activities that will enrich the lifestyle and learning experience of students, staff and alumni.
