ASEAN INTERNSHIP SCHEME FOR HONG KONG HIGHER EDUCATION
Thanks to the support from your organisation in offering internship places in the 2020 round of the internship scheme which unfortunately did not materialise due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As the pandemic situation has greatly improved, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government will resume the internship scheme in 2023, which will be administered by Hong Kong Economic and Trade Offices (HKETOs) in Singapore, Jakarta and Bangkok.
Your continued participation and feedback are important
We very much hope that you could continue to support this meaningful scheme and stay with us as part of this growing family! As a Host Organisation, you can bring in cross-cultural experience to your workplace, tap the creative minds of Hong Kong’s young generation, and build networks with some of the potential leaders of tomorrow. As in the previous rounds of the scheme, honorarium for the student interns is entirely optional. Logistical arrangements, including air tickets, accommodation, visa, insurance and transportation will be arranged by the higher education institutions and student interns concerned. All you need to provide is proper coaching and sufficient immersion in the industry environment for the student interns. The duration of internship is also flexible, generally lasting for 6 to 10 weeks between May and August, to suit your operational needs. You may also specify the preferred academic disciplines and attributes of student interns so our 11 participating higher education institutions can field suitable candidates for your selection. For details, please refer to the following website: https://www.hketosin.gov.hk/internship.php
