Background

With support from the Innovation and Technology Fund (ITF), the Career Development Service of The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) has launched the STEM Internship Scheme for STEM-related subjects' students.  The scheme aims to encourage STEM students to gain innovation and technology (I&T)-related work experience and to foster their interest in pursuing a career in I&T. 

Requirements / Details of the Internship

• Companies providing internships that contain STEM / I&T elements are welcome to support the scheme. (No teaching position or teaching element will be allowed under this Scheme.)
• The internship must be a non-credit bearing internship.
• The internship period must be at least 4 weeks (28 calendar days). CDS requires that the internship takes place in 4 to 8 consecutive weeks (not more than 59 consecutive calendar days).
• Both 2024 graduates and non-final year students are eligible to join the scheme.   
• The student intern and/or the participating employer should not engage in acts or activities that are likely to constitute or cause the occurrence of offences endangering national security or which would otherwise be contrary to the interest of national security.

To join the Scheme

• Fill in the online form HERE and post your vacancies
• Career Development Service (CDS) will review the job details and inform respective employers whether or not the job submitted can be included in the scheme.
• To secure the funding from ITF, before giving an offer to an EdUHK candidate, the employer must inform CDS to double-check if the successful candidate is eligible to be included in the scheme. 
• After getting the notification from CDS, the employer can contact the eligible candidate and then sign an employment contract with him/her.  The employer is required to submit the signed contract to CDS within 3 working days.  The quota will be released to another successful candidate if the signed contract is not received by CDS on time.

Reimbursement Arrangement

• After the completion of the internship, the participating employer has to submit an internship report and supporting documents to CDS.
• Once the above documents are confirmed and approved, CDS will contact the students about the subsidy arrangement. The allowance will be disbursed by CDS.
  - Under the scheme, the subsidy is HK$373 per day (i.e. $11,190 / 30 days);
  - The first and the last days of an internship should be working days.  In case Saturday and/or Sunday are regarded as working day in the employment contract, they can be included in the subsidy calculation. 

Important Notes

• Participating employers have to provide Employees' Compensation Insurance and MPF to students during the employment period.
• CDS will evaluate the employer’s company size, learning values of the internship, etc. to determine the quota for each employer.  EdUHK holds sole discretion in this decision.
