An orientation day was held in June for 26 students beginning six-week summer internship programmes with Swire operating companies in nine Chinese Mainland cities. Swire has offered these internships since 2018, as part of a scheme organised by the Hong Kong SAR Government to enable students to gain work experience with corporations on the Chinese Mainland or overseas. This year, Swire offered the second highest number of placements among participating corporates, with opportunities across the aviation, property management, and food and beverage production sectors. Mr Wallace Lau, then Commissioner for Youth from the Home and Youth Affairs Bureau, attended the orientation day and gave a talk to the interns.
