"CityU’s College of Business places great emphasis on whole-person development and makes social responsibility a core element of the curriculum. I am delighted to see the Citi Community Intern Program cultivates students’ awareness of corporate social responsibility and trains students to make decisions that serve not only themselves, but also the interests of sustaining our planet. I give my wholehearted thanks to the organizing committee, Citi Bank and partner institutions for their dedication and commitment. I believe this program will nature the next generation of business leaders for a sustainable future."

Dear Students,

When we ask employers what they are looking for in a graduate they usually mention general skills such as communication, teamwork, leadership, initiative, critical thinking, and so on.  For many employers these may be even more important that subject knowledge. That is why we have placed such a strong emphasis on whole person education at HKBU – to make sure you have the skills and qualities that employers are looking for. Internship opportunities are a key part of that, helping you to develop your practical skills and to link your academic knowledge with the real world.

I am very pleased that Citi and The Hong Kong Council of Social Service have joined together to organise the Citi-HKCSS Community Intern Programme, and I would like to thank them for taking this initiative. The programme allows future leaders to connect with the community, gaining valuable experience and sensitising themselves to the broader needs of society. I strongly urge you to consider taking up this opportunity to develop your skills whilst at the same time contributing back to our society.

With best wishes,

Prof. Edward Snape, Dean

"The Chinese University of Hong Kong Business School is devoted to nurturing business leaders with a socially responsible mindset and contributing to a sustainable business environment. We always encourage our students to use what they’ve learned to serve the society. Through joining the Citi-HKCSS Community Intern Program, students can put theories into practice and integrate the experience into their personal and professional development. Such opportunities for self-discovery and character-building will certainly add breadth and depth to their university journeys."

"The mission of the Citi-HKCSS Community Intern Program aims at inspiring university business students to contribute their knowledge and expertise to non-profit organizations through intership and ultimately cultivating their concept of Corporate Social Responsibility and broadening their understanding of the community at large. This noble mission matches one of the attributes that The Open University of Hong Kong expects from its graduates, that is, to be responsibile citizens and ready to contribute to society. I am grateful to Citibank and HKCSS for providing such an excellent platform not only for our students to contribute to society but also to nurture them to become responsible citizens of Hong Kong."
