The ITC Summer Internship Programme was initiated in 2017 with the aim of enriching the learning experience of students through local or overseas on-the-job training. The professional work experience not only improves the industry skills of students, but cultivates professional soft skills, including interpersonal and communication skills, and time management. A total of 66 manufacturers, retailers, buying offices, and design houses have offered 250 intern positions in the past two years. ITC students have greatly benefited from the invaluable opportunity to gain experience in their field.
Andrea Leung, who is majoring in Fashion Retailing in the BA programme, interned with Wharf China in summer 2019 and had this to say about her internship experience: “I’ve learnt a lot of skills and techniques for official meetings and negotiations. I’ve finally realised the importance of communication skills and how to use them to encourage receptiveness to my suggestions.”
This year, despite the social unrest and global economic challenges, over 20 industrialists are participating in the internship programme. Student interns will start their internship journey in June 2020 for seven weeks or more. Each student is expected to complete a mini-project that would give them the opportunity to apply classroom knowledge to the workplace. At the end of their internship, the students will present a learning portfolio to their workplace supervisors and subject lecturers.
