Overview

The Student Internship Programme (“SIP”) is one of the initiatives of the Pilot Programme.  It aims to raise the awareness of undergraduate and postgraduate students to the wide spectrum of career opportunities in the front, middle, back offices or "mixed" job functions of the asset and wealth management (WAM) sector, and allow them to gain early exposure to these different functional roles. Interested students may consider joining the WAM sector after graduation.

Under the SIP, undergraduate and postgraduate students will be offered internship positions by employers in the WAM sector for a period of 1 to 3 months (“the internship period”) throughout the year in their front, middle, back offices or mixed* of these job functions involving WAM-related work.  This offers an opportunity for students to apprehend the career prospect and nature of the WAM sector.
