“Internship is one of the key components of GLEF program.

I worked in Commerzbank AG, the second largest bank in Germany, as a Debt Capital Market intern from June to December 2018. Debt Capital Market division is often less-known among university students; yet, it is one of the fastest growing team across investment banks in Hong Kong. 

Through this internship, I have learned to combine the knowledge I have learned from school with the practical experiences in the financial industry.

GLEF is a very small program with roughly 30 students.

“I have joined the Student Co-op Student Trainee Program in HSBC for 6 months.
Being in this team, has offered me with a great opportunity to get to know more about the bank’s internal regulations and standards when they are analyzing a customer profile.
This internship experience has further straightened my communication, data analysis, interpersonal and presentation skills.
HSBC does appreciate work life balance, which it has senior management teams to hold town hall from time to time and spread the message that employees are not encouraged to working overtime and to send work emails after office hours.
I strongly believe that this internship opportunity would be a valuable one for students who would like to get a taste of the banking industry.”

During the internship, I have been mainly assisting with the Corporate Innovation Programmes which are accelerator programmes that connect corporates with b2b startups.
On the other hand, soft skills such as being proactive, working independently and agile learning skills were instilled into me.
