The Government today launched the "HYAB (Home & Youth Affairs Bureau) Scheme on Corporate Summer Internship on the Mainland & Overseas 2026", with a view to providing young Hongkongers with quality internship placements.

Run in collaboration with 29 large corporates, the scheme will help youths learn, at first-hand, about national development and international trends.

Additionally, it will give young people exposure to the work culture of large corporates, and an opportunity to establish interpersonal networks.

Overall, it will enable them to accumulate invaluable work experience and lay a foundation for their future career development.

The internship placements are offered in various Mainland cities in the Greater Bay Area, as well as in Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Chongqing and Hangzhou. Other internships are in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Australia.
