On 7th November, a gathering was held to mark the conclusion of 2019's "Scheme on Corporate Summer Internship on the Mainland and Overseas". The programme was a collaboration between Swire and the HKSAR Government that provided 20 young people with the opportunity to take up summer placements at the Mainland offices of five Swire group operating companies, including Cathay Pacific, HAECO, Swire Coca-Cola, Swire Foods and Swire Properties. At the event, interns shared their experiences of working in these different businesses. The scheme aims to provide future business leaders with the opportunity to gain first-hand knowledge and understanding of Mainland China’s business environment and cultural landscape.
