Chief Secretary Chan Kwok-ki today officiated at the kick-off ceremony of the Home & Youth Affairs Bureau Scheme on Corporate Summer Internship on the Mainland & Overseas 2025.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mr Chan said the scheme has been well received by the youth and highly recognised by the participating corporates since its launch in 2018, with over 1,000 Hong Kong young people benefitting so far.
Twenty-eight corporates are participating in the scheme this year, providing internship placements covering financial services, innovation and technology, logistics, property development, construction, retail, hospitality, entertainment and public utilities.
The internship placements span different Mainland provinces and cities and overseas countries including Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, Mongolia and Australia. The recruited interns will depart from June onwards to undertake internship placements of no less than four weeks.
Noting that the scheme is dedicated to bringing Hong Kong youth to “go global”, Mr Chan said the young people can accumulate work experience, broaden their horizons and expand their interpersonal networks via the internships, assisting them in planning their future.
