Elite Athlete Career Development Internship Programme
The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) has exceled in providing substantial support to local athletes in their dual career development both in sports and in studies, and strived to provide them flexible study plan and substantial mentorship support.
To stretch the potential of those athlete-students for all-round development through practical training, Department of Health and Physical Education are inviting various NGOs and relevant industries to develop close collaboration with the University by being the “Elite Athlete Friendly Organizations” (EAFOs).

She has learnt a lot and it is a valuable experience for exploring her interest in career development.

Sharing from Li Ching Wan
‘This summer, I had my internship as a business catcher at OnBoard For Good for 2 months. I was assigned to work on different tasks such as project planning, social media and social listening. At first, I was worried about my ability as I did not have any working experience before. Yet, my supervisor and staff were very welcoming and supportive that offered me much help. During the internship, I had a chance to work on project planning which included holding an event and a press conference together with budget management. I had learnt to consider different aspects comprehensively especially for the budget details. Also, the social media tasks and online workshops provided me much knowledge on digital marketing.
I am thankful that EdUHK provides a connection for me to experience and gain valuable insight through this internship. It has broadened my horizon and helped me to equip myself better in pursuing my career in the future.’
