Maritime and Aviation Internship Scheme (Maritime)

Introduction

To offer young generation an opportunity to have an early exposure to the wide spectrum of career opportunities in the aviation and maritime sectors so as to encourage them to join the two sectors after graduation, the HKSAR Government established 'Maritime and Aviation Internship Scheme' in 2014 to invite companies in the aviation and maritime sectors to offer intern places.

Eligibility

This initiative is open to non-final year full-time local students from any undergraduate or sub-degree programmes of the eight University Grants Committee (UGC)-funded education institutions, the Hang Seng University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Shue Yan University, Hong Kong Metropolitan University and the Vocational Training Council.

Partnership arrangement

Government’s support

  • The MATF would reimburse the participating companies of the monthly honorarium paid to interns up to 75% or HK$7,000 (with effect from 1 May 2019) (whichever is lower) for an internship period up to three months.

Company’s role

  • register and offer internship places under the MATF during summer vacation, i.e. from May to September for a minimum of 4 weeks;
  • pay the monthly honorarium to student interns during the internship period, and then claim for reimbursement from the MATF regarding the sum sponsored by the Government, together with an evaluation of the scheme, after completion of internship;
  • give a fruitful and rewarding experience to the interns; and
  • release the interns for a few activities organised by the MATF.
