Important Notes

Requirements of the Internship

All internships should be on a full-time basis and conducted between 1 June and 31 August. Remote working where the participating employer and the internship are in different territories is not allowed.
The minimum internship duration is 28 calendar days (i.e., 4 consecutive weeks), and the total duration is advised to last NO MORE THAN 59 consecutive days.
The first and last days of the internship should be working days. In case Saturday and/or Sunday are regarded as working days in the employment contract, they can be included in the allowance calculation.
The allowance for each student intern is HK$11,490 per month (i.e., HK$383 per day), capped at two months. The aforementioned allowance will be disbursed to students via Lingnan University.
Participating employers may pay the student interns an honorarium on top of the allowance under the Scheme with reference to their internal policies, industry benchmarks, or market rates.
