Tentative Program Dates: June 3 - July 29, 2017

Students will work with the program provider to professionally revise their resume, prepare for interviews and ultimately obtain the internship they desire. Because of the providers industry expertise and proven track record, they have successfully secured internships for 99% of their participants. If they are unable to place you in an internship that meets your sole approval, you will receive a full refund.

• Hong Kong summer internships are non-paid and placements are made with an emphasis on balancing the needs of the student with those of the organization.
• An important aspect of this program is flexibility. Hong Kong offers infinite possibilities for prospective interns. If you are too narrow in where you would like to work or what you hope to accomplish, you will greatly limit your ability to successfully place you in an internship. Relevant academic studies or work experience in the field of the internship for which you are applying is required.
• Please be aware that placement managers cannot guarantee a specific placement, or the exact duties an employer will ask you to undertake. These will fluctuate from term to term and will depend on many factors relating to the changing needs of the organization as well as the abilities of the student-intern.
• Bear in mind that the range of companies or organizations that will accept you to work with them, and the range of duties and responsibilities you will undertake, will be largely determined by your academic and previous work backgroundUpon completion of the program students will have earned six units of credit under BNAD 393A. These units can be applied directly towards the Global Business Program or can be used as general elective credit.
• Students must meet with the International Initiatives Coordinator prior to program participation be fully aware of the procedures and necessary paper work/ documentation to be completed before, during and after the internship in order to participate in the program.
