The internship project matched my original interests. It provides an excellent bridge between school life and real-world work.
Jeremy ChuUnited Christian College (Kowloon East)
Overall, the internship is a great opportunity for me to have an overview of what marketing is. I was allowed to talk to the company advisor and listen to her professional opinions. With this, this is definitely conducive to widening my horizons and learning concrete business skills. This is definitely an unforgettable internship experience that greatly enhances my knowledge and perspective.

I've had a great experience with my advisor, he was friendly starting from day 1. I was able to learn a lot and develop myself from the suggestions he made. I wish the internship experience was longer than 2 weeks so I could learn more from him. Overall, I enjoyed the whole experience, everyone was so nice and helpful. I am proud of what I am able to do and grateful for what I've learned.
