DEVELOPMENT
Undergraduate education at AIS references key trends and global developments through far-sighted combinations of fields that are driving our rapidly evolving world. Close links with business and industry along with a special emphasis on character-building and identification of individual interests add to our empowering student experience. We understand that an all-round development is more than academic knowledge, personal understanding of motivations and goals, professional know-how and business experience all help students plan for their future and adapt well to the working environment.
Students seek novel ways to create value and solve real-life business problems faced by our corporate sponsors. Past corporate sponsors include IBM, HARMAN, a Samsung company, E&Y, Google HK, Arup, P&G, Union Medical Healthcare, GoLend.hk, Baron.AI, The Hong Kong Jockey Club, Hong Kong Trade Development Council, and Akamai, among others.
Gatherings of different scale are regularly organized for students to learn from successful executives and obtain first-hand accounts of the latest trends and issues from academic and industry leaders.
Speakers/ Trainers from different fields share career prospects of diverse industries and working cultures of local and international corporations and equip students with effective communication, presentation and interpersonal skills in proper manner and prepare them with innovative mindset plus business sense for better career and professional development.
Students are encouraged to take up internship to gain valuable working experience. Internship and graduate employment opportunities are available from corporate-sponsored projects, mentorship programs and direct hiring by companies via Career Center or program office. Faculty advisors and Career Centre can further provide students with resources and dedicated services in career advising. Real world is competitive but you will have our support and backup on your journey onwards.
This innovative initiative links AIS students with seasoned executives and entrepreneurs to bridge the transition from graduate to professional and build career and intergenerational insights. AIS Industrial Fellows come from diverse backgrounds, including finance, IT, environmental services, regulatory and legal services and the non-profit sector.
