Summer holiday is coming soon, it is the perfect time for you to enrich yourselves and broaden your horizon! HKMU Student Affairs Office (SAO) is now launching the \u201cHKMU Social Impact Summer Internship Programme 2026\u201d<\/strong>. The programme provides opportunities for full-time undergraduate students <\/strong>who aspire to develop career in the fields of social innovation, environmental protection and sustainability, public services, social diversity and inclusion, curating, and education<\/strong> through placement in 14 organizations<\/strong>. Students can step out of the classroom to experience the influence that various professions brought to contribute to society, enhance their professional skills in the workplace, and can also use this opportunity to build interpersonal networks and prepare for future career development.<\/h5>
This internship program is specifically designed for students with less work experience. SAO will provide students with career training workshops \u00a0(e.g. workplace etiquette, video shooting & editing) before the internship. A basic allowance of HK$16,000 will be provided to students who complete the entire internship to cover transportation and meal expenses.
