Programme Highlights:

Drive your very own eight-week business project
We work with our Operating Companies to handpick 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.

Project assignment
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.

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!
