The Hong Kong Internship Program Supported By Ford Foundation Organized By Hong Kong-America Center A Unique Cross-cultural Opportunity The Hong Kong Internship Program: A Unique Experience Dear Students: The Hong Kong America Center will organize a unique internship and cultural exchange program in Hong Kong for the summer of 2015. Supported by the Ford Foundation, we will offer American students a unique opportunity to get to know Chinese students in a shared residence, and possibly also in companies and other institutions in Hong Kong. Ford Foundation support allows us to offer this program at a relatively low cost of US$1950. Students will travel at their own expense to Hong Kong. After a three-day orientation program (including a one-day Macau retreat) arranged by the Hong Kong America Center, each American student will be assigned to work for about eight weeks as an intern in companies or other organizations in Hong Kong, many of which will also feature Chinese interns. We will make every effort to match student interests and company needs, but students also should be prepared to be flexible. All American students will reside in a dormitory on a college campus where there will also be Chinese students in residence. Our Center will organize cultural activities, including excursions to places of interest in Hong Kong for both American and Chinese students, to help facilitate crosscultural communications. At the end of the summer, we will organize a concluding session to evaluate participants’ experience. If you think this program might be for you, please send your resume, transcript (unofficial is acceptable), and Skype ID and contact Ms. Vivian Chiu at vivianchiu@eservices.cuhk.edu.hk right away. We can place only a limited number of students for the summer of 2015. The deadline, March 2nd, is fast-approaching! Both graduate and undergraduate students are eligible.
