Flagship Internship Programme

High School Internship

Real companies. Real mentors. Real work. The first genuine work experience most students ever get — and the one that changes everything.

YFS places high school students into structured 4–6 week virtual internships with vetted companies across Asia. Each intern gets a mentor, a scoped project, and a tangible deliverable — so they leave with more than just a line on their CV.

Pre-university work experience that stands out in applications and helps clarify what to study next.

Impact & Success

95% of interns complete the programme. Dozens have gone on to paid internships with the same host company after turning 18, and many cite the experience as the single biggest differentiator in their university application.
