Your tailor-made Hong Kong Internship

Why doing your internship in Hong Kong?

Hong Kong is one of the best cities in the world to intern at. The city has a fierce reputation when it comes to business, so you will definitely impress your future employers by adding work experience in Hong Kong onto your resume. Hong Kong, the primary gateway to China is an international financial center, a land of vast opportunities. Make your first steps in the city with an international internship and establish your social network to prepare yourself for your future career.

Why Hong Kong?

Hong Kong is one of two special administrative regions (SARs) of the People's Republic of China (PRC), the other being Macau. A city-state situated on China's south coast and enclosed by the Pearl River Delta and South China Sea, it is renowned for its expansive skyline and deep natural harbour. As one of the world's leading international financial centres, Hong Kong has a major capitalist service economy. The lack of space caused demand for denser constructions, which developed the city to a centre for modern architecture and the world's most vertical city.

"An internship from Next Step is something anyone looking for hands-on, international experience should consider. I never would have been able to find a position at Li & Fung, the largest sourcing company in the world on my own. I gained valuable working experience and had the pleasure of living in one of the most exciting places in the world. My 3 months in Hong Kong at Li & Fung was a huge stepping stone towards my career." Tiffany Wong, Fashion Internship in HK, September 2011
