Internships in Hong Kong with The Intern Group

Having TIG find you housing, plan your events, and assist with finding a job helped a lot with having my 5 week internship be stress free. I was hesitant at first as I thought TIG was a scam but soon after I applied and started doing more research, I noticed that there a lot of success stories that came out of TIG over the years

My experience at The Red Flag Group (the company I interned at) has enhanced my job search significantly even though it was my first work experience. My manager went out of her way to teach me skills that have been essential in my job search since I finished working there.

Overall, I think that TIG HK provides a great opportunity to gain experience in a beautiful city like Hong Kong while providing the support to visit famous attractions and meet many other people within the program.

The intern group provides secure accomodation and tips for making sure your internship experience is worthwhile. I interned for 2 months and I can honestly say I had the best experience when it came to making new friends, getting to know some of my colleagues and most importantly whether I wanted to pursue consultancy as a career after I completed the program. With the intern group’s help, I was able to secure a position in a financial services consultancy company, which allowed me to gain a wide depth of knowledge and experience through my mentor. Although, my first week started off mandane, I was later given more responsibilities with projects.

Nevertheless, I had a great time also getting to explore Hong Kong people from all around the world - hiking and taking part with many excursions provided by the intern group. Definitely a worthwhile experience.

Finding housing, planning your events, and finding a job is a rather big task, especially when you don't have the experience or knowledge. With The Intern Group, I was able to see a lot of what Hong Kong had to offer, live in a rather comfortable area with all the other interns, and get valuable life and work experience. I also appreciate them helping me get a visa. Going to theme parks, cooking events, and getting to see Lantau and Macau is something I'll cherish for a long time. It also helps that I was able to grow as a character while I was there and was able to live in Hong Kong, a place I really wanted to be in! I got to experience the city life, buying from the small corner store, and enjoying the most delicious food from the small restaurants you can find. I am very thankful for them, and I highly recommend them!

I'll start by saying that I was worried that the Intern Group was a scam. I learned pretty quickly that this was not the case.

I had an amazing time during my 12 week program in Hong Kong. I thought the location of where I lived was fantastic; conveniently close to public transport, to social scenes and to eating locations. The apartment itself was good; modern and clean. Living with other interns is also some of the best fun you can get.

Now I will preface to say that your experience will differ greatly depending on the place you intern at; I was SUPER lucky with an amazing company (APV), who were just wonderful.

The Intern Group do a good job of making you feel comfortable and settling you in. Any questions or doubts you have, they'll do all they can to address those issues. The events are a lot of fun, and are a great way to meet other interns; highly recommend going to them.

Thanks a lot Intern Group!

The Intern Group did an amazing job at placing me with my internship. It’s as if they really knew who I was and what would be best for me. The internship I had was truly life changing and I owe it all to The Intern Group. Our accommodations were also great. We stayed in a more residential part of Hong Kong which was great because we were able to go to the island when we wanted to with ease, but didn’t have to live among the crazy bustle of the city at all times. The Intern Group gave me life long friends and experiences that I wouldn’t trade for the world. They treated us with respect and like adults which you don’t always find in an organized group setting. If you have the means and the opportunity to, please go to Hong Kong with The Intern Group—you won’t regret your decision.

This experience provided insights and experiences that were unlikely to have been found otherwise. Through networking with coworkers and other members of the program in my major, insights of engineers from all over Europe, the United States, and Asia formulated an image of how different cultures can shape an engineer. By working at a small start-up company, I had a feeling that I was directly contributing and benefitting the company and that I played an important role in the development of their product. This is something I did not feel at a large corporation. My only regrets about doing this program was that I did not stay longer. Seriously, it’s worth it.

I applied for this program expecting a decent internship and a more or less "study abroad" experience. I got much more than I expected. I worked as a research analyst and the knowledge I acquired has helped tremendously in my job hunt today.

The Intern Group team provides accommodations that are more than suitable for the duration of the internship. Also, you are housed with the other interns so you pretty much have an automatic friend group when you move in.

If you attend the events (which I highly recommend you do) you'll learn an incredible amount about the culture and layout of Hong Kong.

As for post internship information. Putting an internship in Hong Kong on my resume has been an automatic conversation starter in all of my interviews.

100% would recommend pursuing this opportunity.

The InternGroup provided an all inclusive internship experience in a foreign country, on a continent I had never been to before. I never would have been able to pick up my life and move to a completely foreign country and settle in the way I have been able to with the InternGroup. The housing was better than I had expected and the outings allowed for an instant friend group to be formed, making Hong Kong feel like home in no time. The internship and volunteer opportunities in Hong Kong allowed me to be exposed to an entirely new culture and group of people in a way an internship in my home country never could have done.
