Best summer yet

Before going to Hong Kong, i thought all I was going to experience is the internship itself and nothing else. Until I realized the intern group provided other memorable experiences for us. I met a LOT of new people and got to know more about them and how we all ended up in Hong Kong. What an experience

Incredible Hong Kong internship

I had an amazing time working for an NGO in Hong Kong during my Gap Year. TIG helped me find a host who suited my needs and interests perfectly. The social events that TIG ran during my time here were always well planned and fun and provided me with an avenue to experience activities and events in the city I wouldn't have found otherwise. There's a strong sense of community with the other interns and I would recommend the Hong Kong programme specifically for anyone wanting to look for a really special city to stay in. Genuinely one of my favourite things I've done.

Life changing internship in Hong Kong

I recently completed an internship in Hong Kong for 7 weeks under the Intern Group. Their support was key for settling into the culture there and provided me with someone to talk to when the going got tough. Thanks to their support, I could thrive in a foreign country by meeting new people and working in a great company. I was able to experience so many new things thanks to them and these experiences will be invaluable to me in my life going forward. I could not recommend this internship more. It allowed me to grow in ways I never thought I could.

Interning in Hong Kong has been an incredible experience that I wouldn't trade for anything. It not only allowed me to travel, explore, and work in Asia for the first time, but it also gave me the chance to represent my accomplishments and the legacy of my historically Black college. Additionally, I was able to delve into the vibrant city and engage with the significance of humanitarian aid, which was made possible by the supportive intern group that I’m deeply grateful for.

Great Internship Experience and Job Offered by company in Hong Kong

My experience in Hong Kong was great. The support from TIG was splendid. My time was filled with many learning experiences and gave me more confidence in a professional environment. This internship also gave me a connection. Fast forward 3 years later after my masters degree, I got in touch with the connection I had Hong Kong and I was offered a remote full-time job at the company I interned for. I am grateful to TIG and the Hong Kong experience coordinators. I personally recommend The TIG service.

Hong Kong internship

October 07, 2022by: Jack Corney - United Kingdom

I was originally meant to do my internship in 2020, but COVID made it not possible. The Intern Group, however, kept my internship available for two more years until I was in a position to do it again. They gave me very detailed and helpful information on getting to my internship from my accommodation which was quite a distance to travel and my biggest concern at the start. The internship itself was a real eye opener, seeing first-hand how a charity deals with all the donations and goods it receives and sends to places in need and there was a variety of nationalities working there which made it feel extra global and exciting. Hong Kong itself is a wonderful city; very friendly, clean and easy to navigate and the events organised by the Intern Group felt very relevant to the city and really got oneself immersed in the culture. Special shout out to Agnes who was always available to answer any questions, was very helpful with getting my phone set up for Hong Kong, showed me some great places around the city and treated me to the best burger I have ever had! The only negative would be the distance to travel to and from work every day. The Intern Group, however, did set me up with a travel card with enough money on it to cover the cost for the entire duration.

Great experience despite Covid

Overall I loved my time with the intern group. They were very helpful in communication and helping me get to my designated country before arrive despite covid and only continued to be amazing assistance whilst there. They placed me with a great host. As I was apart of the digital nomad program I had more freedom to explore my country which they always supported. The plans activities were always fun and I feel I have made international friends for life. My stay with there provided accommodation with perfect/safe. I didn’t have any problem in the process. There was always someone to contact if I needed assistance or advice. The work modules were also useful providing content on career advancement which I can now apply to future roles. I would definitely recommend this program to a friend as I had the time of my life.

Have a great time due to a great organization

My time at The Intern Group in Hong Kong was with two words: pretty amazing! I applied because I had to find an internship internationally in fall 2021 as part of my university degree. Having done some market research, I concluded that TIG was the most experienced in this field. Summing up what they most helped me with, I would say: - Visa and Covid precautions - Contact person and coordinator at the desired location (Sau Yi, what a guy!!!) - Assistance with finding the right internship, using their network, improving your CV format etc. - Housing & quick networking/finding friends in Hong Kong - Weekly events amongst all the other interns (dinners, hikes, trips) So is it possible to have the same experience without TIG? Yes, absolutely Is it likely you will enjoy your limited time there just as much? Most likely not because living in new environments and gathering internship opportunities has a lot to do with who you know and how much you know and at least in this department I can say that The Intern Group Hong Kong program that has a fantastic program manager in Sau and that it is very smooth to dive into your new life in Hong Kong thanks to TIG.

My Intern Group review

The Intern Group has been a very nice experience for me. They have helped me to find an amazing 6-month intern job at the Australian Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong. After signing my contract, they helped me to apply my visa online. When I arrived, Sau (program advisory and visa officer of the Intern Group) was organising some online events when I was in quarantine. On the same week that I left the quarantine hotel. He organised a dinner at the restaurant with other people from the Intern Group. It feels very nice to meet new people when you just arrived in a new city. After that, during all my internship period. Sau was organising some visits and hikes around Hong Kong, which were very well organised and great! I’ve got the chance to meet a lot of interesting people from many different countries. At the end of my internship, I succeed to find a trainee job at the Belgium-Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce. Sau helped me to apply for my new job visa! He was very kind with me and always tried to catch up with me. It is a pleasure to meet him, and I wish keeping hangout with him in the future if I stay even longer in Hong Kong. Best wishes to you Sau and thank you to the Intern Group for this experience!

I had an amazing time interning in Hong Kong

I had the opportunity to intern in Hong Kong in a prime french company in their sourcing department. This opportunity was enabled by The Intern Group Hong Kong. I am very thankful for this opportunity that enabled me to increase my experience, expand my network and familiarize myself with the rich Cantonese culture. I blindly recommend enrolling in their program and also recommend taking an internship in Hong Kong that happens a great city to explore, hang out and have unique experiences. I would recommend Lan Kwai Fong over the weekend for outings and for networking with local and international professionals living in Hong Kong.

This was the best internship ever!

I was Sceptical at first about the program. I wasn’t sure whether they were going to be able to find me a good job, or if I was going to like the job they found me. Luckily, everything was better than I expected and the team was able to provide me with an excellent working environment and experience overall.

Amazing experience

I had a really amazing experience in all aspects. My internship has definitely taught me so many skills I didn’t expect to learn, and has helped progress my career. I was able to work in close proximity to senior leadership in a position that is not easy to secure without years and years of previous experience. The program included several tours that’s were very well planned out. Employees go above and beyond to be helpful. My place was small but perfect, and my roomates and friends I have made were incredible. Definitely not an experience I can ever forget. I am so grateful for my time in Hong Kong and I recommend to everyone!

Exceeded my expectations

This experience has absolutely exceeded my expectations. Not only did it give me the opportunity to work in a professional environment and learn valuable, transferrable skills, but it also gave me the chance to meet interesting and driven young interns from all over the world and fully appreciate the local culture. I would definitely apply again and stay for a longer period of time.

Professional and cultural acquaintance

China is one of the most demanding places as far as architecture and constructions are concerned. That’s why an internship in that field in Shanghai is really useful for a student. You get to learn a lot about the working environment and also to meet amazing people.

The intern group definitely exceeded my expectations; my internship was fantastic and gave me amazing work at a high level, and they handled all the boring stuff nobody wants to do (visas, housing, etc) so that I could focus on working hard, then having fun with friends on the weekends
