Information Systems Internships in Hong Kong

I cannot recommend this excellent agency enough! Thanks to their incredible efficiency, I was able to find my internship in just two weeks. The entire team is not only professional but also extremely attentive and truly kind. They are so thoughtful that I even received a lovely gift for my birthday, which was such a heartwarming surprise! Even when I encountered some difficulties, they were always there to listen and helped me resolve everything immediately with great care. I am infinitely grateful for their constant support and their dedication to my success. A huge thank you to the whole team for being so professional and caring at the same time!

My internship in South Korea through AIP was genuinely unforgettable. From the very beginning, the AIP team made the whole process smooth by staying in touch, offering guidance, and making sure I always knew what to expect. I also loved that they arranged meetups and activities that allowed us to explore Korea beyond just our workplace. The program was thoughtfully structured and gave me the chance to grow both professionally and personally. During my time in Korea, I was able to learn so much about the culture and enjoy many great moments with my company and colleagues. It’s an experience I truly appreciate. I’d definitely recommend AIP to anyone looking to gain real international work experience in a supportive environment.

I really enjoyed my internship in Seoul, the company was amazing and very welcoming, and my accomodation was close to everything that I needed. I enjoyed the work that I did and I received very clear instructions on how to achieve what I needed to by my host company.

It was interesting to be here in Hong Kong. Being nervous, excited, and learning a lot of new things in a beautiful place like Hong Kong is something everyone should try! I really recommend it :) you’ll have the perfect mix of a work life balance in Asia.

My recent internship experience in Hong Kong, facilitated by AIP (Asia Internship Program), has been an exceptional chapter in my professional development. From the outset, AIP demonstrated a commitment to providing a well-rounded and enriching experience, combining professional growth with cultural immersion. The comprehensive support provided, coupled with the vibrant professional and cultural landscape of Hong Kong, has left an indelible mark on my professional journey. I wholeheartedly recommend AIP to any aspiring intern seeking a transformative experience that seamlessly integrates professional growth and cultural exploration.

During the placement process, The Intern Group only had one mechanical engineering option to offer me at a company based in Colombia and had to switch to a fully remote position. The situation was unfortunate because of the time zone differences and the workload was very independent. This wasn’t the internship I hoped for but it definitely challenged me professionally. The people that arrived the same time as I did + the accommodation made the whole experience worthwhile. Our experience coordinator, Erika, was very welcoming and helpful with everything we needed. We would have weekly meet ups to socialize and do fun activities together. The accommodation is full of other friendly students/travelers and I felt very safe, it’s comparable to a single dorm room.

Thank you for sharing your candid experience! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience overall and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you, Emily

Meiji Internships has definitely opened many new doors for my future career path. Throughout the pandemic this was one big headache for me, but Meiji were always informative and responsive throughout. Even before I arrived in Hong Kong, I knew I could count on them. Once I got the good news I could actually travel to Hong Kong, I wasted no more time and got on the plane as soon as possible. Again, I cant thank Meiji enough for the smoothness of their organisation during this hectic time. Once I arrived, I was welcomed with open arms and given the internship of a lifetime. I took a lot away form this internship and built a substantial network of key contacts. I’m looking forward to the future.

The whole reason I wanted to intern in Asia was for the purpose of personal growth. It’s a place that requires a lot of perseverance and willingness to adapt, while also being the fastest growing continent in the world in terms of business. I took a specific interest in Hong Kong for the many business opportunities that can be found there, as well as the level of English proficiency that the vast majority of the population has. During my internship I worked within a small team, which really allowed me to work closely with my colleagues. Because of this they were able to teach me a lot, and I was properly involved in a number of important projects. This internship gave me the insight I needed to scope out the business world of Hong Kong, and also the confidence to handle myself in places far different to my home country.

Meiji were quick when responding to questions, and always gave the accurate information. They have very good company partners so I enjoyed working with the company. I think that Meiji Internships is a top rated organisation, so I would recommend it.

I went to Hong Kong for an internship to achieve the last of my university credits. Honestly I thought it was going to be a regrettable experience since I didn’t know the language, nor know anybody in Hong Kong. But actually it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The work was engaging and the people I worked with were always accommodating to my questions and opinions. The internship really made me want to pack my bags and move to Hong Kong for a long time. The majority of my downtime was spent exploring the vast jungle of back streets and finding all of the best places to eat. For anybody who is looking to get out of their comfort zone, try Hong Kong! It’s scary at first but ultimately very rewarding.

It was a long, long time in the making, but I’m so glad I was finally able to travel to Hong Kong. To be frank, reading the news that they had began to allow foreign visitors back into Hong Kong felt like a dream. I could hardly believe it myself! It’s only natural to be sceptical about an internship abroad (particularly in Asia, the other side of the world) when we’re talking about handing over money to a group of people you’ve never met before. This is how I felt at the start, but after some very friendly and reassuring Skype calls, I decided to trust my instincts and go with Meiji Internships. This decision really paid off, because I ended up having the internship of a lifetime in a city that demands your attention. I did some insightful work, met some interesting people, and gained worthwhile experience.

This program was such a wonderful experience. I stayed in Madrid as one of their first digital nomads where I had the option to work from home while staying in Madrid. I worked with a Madrid marketing agency and sometimes would meet up with my boss to work together or grab coffee. This program was so flexible and fun I was able to travel all around Spain and Europe while adding a perfect internship to my resume. I made some of the best friends I’ve ever had and are still traveling/in contact with them today! The program directors are very involved and make sure you feel welcome in the destination of your choice. They also provide nights out with the other interns of that cohort while introducing new ones each month. I highly recommend this program to anyone wanting to be a world traveler without it impacting their career trajectories in a negative way. Thank you @theinterngroup!

I'm happy that I took the opportunity to do an internship while I'm still here in Hong Kong due to the pandemic and it's all with the help of AIP. It was sort of hard because I couldn't go into the office everyday but it was still fine because I made use of my time while I was here. Very grateful for the opportunity and I'm looking for more!

The whole process for my internship was super easy and smooth: they responded quickly to my emails and helped me find a great company to intern with. It is not easy to adjust to a new country when you don't speak the language, but Meiji Internships made sure I was well prepared and that my internship was in an English speaking environment. Speaking of which, I had a perfect job! I was doing marketing and I learnt so much about the industry. My boss understood my needs very well and what I wanted to learn. He answered all my questions, gave me useful feedback and really cared about me. I gained so many skills so i can now handle projects I wouldn't have hoped for 3 months ago! We went on many excursions with Meiji Internships. The best weekend was the weekend at Disneyland! I am a big big fan of Disney and I was amazed to experience Hong Kong Disneyland lol! On top of that, the weather was great and all my friends joined!

I went to Shanghai to do a business development internship. It ended up being the best experience of my life!! I learned so many things about business, gained so many skills and met so many awesome people. This experience was really open-minding, and I am so grateful that Meiji Internships helped me finding this company. Each person in this company was welcoming and friendly, they all greeted me with a smile. Thanks to them I didn't feel any pressure on my working days and I was able to learn while having a fun and memorable stay. Shanghai is an impressive place, it was the first time for me to live in such a big city and it was a great experience. I also took advantage of being there to learn Chinese. This language is quite difficult and different from European languages but I like how it sounds!

My internship in Hong Kong was perfect. From the workdays to the weekends' trips, I had the time of my life! My co-workers were the smartest and open-minded people I have ever met. I wasn't their first intern, they knew exactly what would be difficult or surprising for me, and acted accordingly. It was interesting to be surrounded by adults. I developed a sense of responsibility thanks to all the important tasks I was given. I feel more independent and ready to take care of myself in every situation. I tried to travel as much as possible and went out every weekend, either to meet with the meiji staff and interns or to do some tourism on my own. Here is something I have learnt from this experience: before my internship starts, I have read lots of blogs and tourism books about Hong Kong in order to prepare my stay. Yet, everything was completely different from what I have imagined. So the conclusion is that no matter how many books you have read, how many documentaries you have watched, you won't be able to understand a culture unless to go to this country and experience it by yourself.

Besides the work experience you will get, there are so many advantages of doing an internship abroad such as learning the language or visiting cultural sites. With so many people going abroad for their studies these days, I wanted to have my own experience to make a difference in my CV. So yeah, at first I was only thinking about my CV and my future job, but this internship was so much more than that! Every day was a new adventure with new challenges and I cherished every second of it! I know that having this kind of experience is a real chance and I'm so grateful to my parents who helped me in this adventure. I'm also thankful to Meiji Internships of course!

I knew it would be hard to find an internship AND a place to stay in Shanghai without a high Chinese level, so I applied at Meiji Internships. I had an online interview with them and after that, I had an interview with a Chinese fashion company. I was a bit stressed but it went very well and they offered me an intern position! Shanghai is a huge city, it's crazy! When I arrived everything was ready for my arrival: airport pick-up, accommodation, sim card, etc. I was reassured to already know some people there and to be able to contact someone if something was to happen. Fortunately, I didn't have to contact anyone because everything went well! I've learned about Marketing, Chinese language and culture, and also about becoming more independent so I'm very proud of myself and all my progress!

So many things to do and to learn in such an amazing region! I have to complete my degree first, but I would love to go back to HK and work there in the future. Their market is in continuous development, and while interning there I could feel that it's the place to be. I am glad I chose to learn Chinese since high school! I am majoring in business and it was a good help during those 3 months, my colleagues could trust me easily because I knew what I was doing. They also provided me with a lot of good advice and I tried to take note of everything because I'm sure it will be useful in my future career! When I had some free time I loved to wander in the street, you can never know what you will find in this city! I often came upon temples or tiny restaurants. By the way, I noticed that small restaurants are always the best and the tastiest!
