Hear From Our Interns

  • Bryan Pang (Summer 2021)

    Recruitment and Assessment Intern

    The working culture in TFHK is open and lateral, I can contribute a lot of ideas and have thorough discussions instead of just following his supervisor’s instructions.

    By reviewing the assessment mechanism and recruitment strategy, I learnt how to look into one’s characteristics and assess one’s competency, into practice.

  • Sabrina Tong (Spring 2021)

    Program Management Intern

    “Hands-on” is the best word to describe my job experience. I was able to be involved in a wide range of work at TFHK that covers almost every part of the Fellowship program.

    By planning different events for Fellowship, I learned to think from multiple perspectives, for example, every participant’s or mentor’s expectations and needs.

  • Vincent Yau (Summer 2021)

    Creative Specialist Intern

    "Learning" is the word best describe during the times in TFHK. Supervisor will regularly review with me and provide me opportunity to explore.

    I have gained how to make use of #social #media content to shape brand image and improve practical skills like graphic design and video editing by constantly applying them in his daily work.

  • Jake Yeung (Spring 2021)

    Strategy and Fundraising Intern

    “Inclusive” is the best word to describe my work experience. There is no hierarchy here, I can easily get along with everyone as an Intern.

    Through writing proposals and reports for grants, I learned a lot of business communication skills and got to know more about how NGOs operate.
