Jane Choi is in her third year studying the Higher Diploma Programme in Tourism and Hospitality Management. Last summer, she had the experience of working as an intern in Island Shangri-La Hotel. "I worked in the Food and Beverage Division, which enabled me to know more about the catering industry. Besides, the training sessions also helped to broaden my knowledge about the operations of a hotel and the hotel industry as a whole. I had applied what I learnt in class, such as business communications, customer services and customer relations during the internship so that I could adapt to the working environment more easily."

Jane found her experience as an intern gratifying, for she had been complimented by many of her seniors on her working attitude and performance. "Through the internship experience, I come to realize my strengths and weaknesses. Most importantly, I understand which direction I should be heading after my graduation."

Sally Wong, a second year student of the Higher Diploma Programme in Financial Services, joined HSBC as an intern last summer to widen her scope of knowledge in the financial world. She started with little notion of the operation of credit cards, but ended up knowing a great deal about the banking industry. "I worked as a customer service staff during the summer internship. The experience enhances my communication skills and also my knowledge about the business culture. The banking industry seems to be a miniature of the business world at large."

Sally's most memorable episodes in HSBC came from her friendly colleagues and supervisor. "It was a pleasant working environment with proper training and warm encouragement. I am grateful that SCS provides students with the opportunity to work in this international bank to show that we also have the potential to be one of the best."

"The translation skills taught by the Higher Diploma Programme are practical, which allowed me to adapt to the working environment quite easily," said Claire.

"The translators at the Secretariat were willing to coach me and teach me translation skills with patience. This internship experience made me realise the importance of research in translation. To do a flawless translation, translators must have thorough understanding about the topics concerned."

Yorkie Fung, a student of the Higher Diploma Programme in Fashion Design and Product Development, had a three-month internship at Co-wear International Limited as a Fashion Designer Trainee. Under the guidance of the famous local fashion designer, Miss Hidy Ng, Yorkie made her first attempt at the fashion industry.

Participating in the design of the spring and summer collection 2008 gave Yorkie better understanding of how the fashion design industry worked. "In Co-wear, I have involved in different aspects of the work, from design to marketing. My supervisor, Hidy, and other colleagues were very friendly and willing to coach me. They allow me to develop my own ideas in design, selection of material, and convincing other people to accept my design. This internship has made my goal more clearly defined. I am now more determined than ever to choose fashion design as my career."
