Swire Summer Internship Programme

The Swire Summer Internship Programme is for intellectually curious, adaptable and business minded penultimate year students who want to join the Swire Management Programme after graduation.

Interns who successfully complete the Swire Summer Internship Programme and exhibit high performance and potential will be priortised to attend the panel interview for the Swire Management Programme selection process.

Please note that Hong Kong citizens will be assigned to projects within Hong Kong SAR. Similarly, Chinese Mainland citizens will be placed on projects within the Chinese Mainland, regardless of their place of study or work rights in Hong Kong. All other applicants will be confirmed at a later stage.

Through a comprehensive induction and hands-on experience, you’ll learn about the breadth of the Swire Group. Over eight weeks, you’ll have the opportunity to lead and implement a business-related project. You’ll have the freedom to develop and gain the skills and commercial awareness you need to start your career in business.

Induction experience
You’ll work in one industry, but in the induction you’ll have the opportunity to meet and network with stakeholders from across the Swire businesses and learn from their experience in business.

Your development
To ensure you have support throughout this experience, you will be paired with a Swire Management Programme buddy. Your Line Manager will also actively support your development and the success of your project.

Pitch a business idea
To wrap up your eight-week internship, alongside a group of your fellow interns, you’ll have the opportunity to pitch a business idea to senior management. You can showcase what you learned from the internship experience and demonstrate your entrepreneurial spirit. We want to hear your ideas!

Drive your very own eight-week business project
We work with our Operating Companies to handpick strategic projects that are intellectually stimulating and offer substantial learning opportunities and experience. During your eight weeks, you will be given the responsibility and autonomy to plan, drive, execute and conclude your project. You are encouraged to develop new skills and experiment with new ways of working.
