Cheng Yu Tung College (CYTC) is dedicated to enriching students’ educational experiences, not only through their college life but also by providing opportunities for summer internships. Since 2015, CYTC has partnered with Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Company Limited (CTF), a company founded by CYTC’s donor, to offer these internships. This year marks the 9th year of this partnership, with the internship lasting for one and a half months. After interviews conducted by CTF’s Human Resources team, five students were selected: Jiao Ruofan, Liu Zimeng, Gan Yichun, Huang Binyi, and Tan Qingwen. The internship took place from July 1 to August 16, 2024.
On July 16, College Master, Prof. Wong Seng Fat and College Fellow Ms. Lu Ching-Hui visited CTF’s headquarters in Shenzhen, where they met with Mr. Gan Quan, the HR General Manager, and other HR colleagues to understand the interns’ work progress. CYTC appreciates the internship opportunities provided by CTF, which exemplifies the company’s commitment to social responsibility and nurturing the next generation. This year’s internship program included 21 university students from Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau, fostering cross-regional learning and exchange.
The interns reported that the internship helped them grasp the importance of communication and departmental tasks, as well as how the organization operates. Jiao Ruofan, a senior Accounting student, mentioned, “I learned how to interact with supervisors and colleagues effectively and realized that while the school provides clear rules and expectations, the workplace requires timely communication and work adjustments with supervisors, which is crucial for successful outcomes.”
This internship program has enhanced students’ global competitiveness, knowledge integration, and teamwork skills. As one of the companies founded by CYTC’s donor Cheng Yu Tung, Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group provided valuable internship opportunities for CYTC students, deepening their understanding of the donor and further strengthening the educational value of the residential colleges.
