Gathering for summer interns in Singapore 2017

On July 24, 2017, the HKETO hosted a gathering for some 70 higher education students interned in Singapore under various internship programmes, with more than 50 of them joining the ASEAN Internship Scheme for Hong Kong Higher Education Students (2017).

The Scheme, first initiated by the HKETO in Singapore in 2014, aims to provide an opportunity for higher education students in Hong Kong to widen their international perspectives by taking up internship in the ASEAN region which, as a bloc, has been Hong Kong’s second largest trading partner.

The Scheme has met with very positive responses and a total of some 600 Hong Kong higher education students have joined so far.

Echoing the Belt and Road Initiative which aims to enhance, among others, people-to-people bonds, starting from the 2016 round, the HKETO has extended the scheme to cover three more Hong Kong higher education institutions namely, Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, Hong Kong Shue Yan University and Hang Seng Management College, on top of the eight UGC-funded institutions.
