Pre-internship training : 4 weeks
The training was designed to help students understand Japanese culture and entrepreneurship mindset. Lecture themes varied from "Hong Kong and Kyushu," "Fukuoka's charm, how to live in Kyushu," "intercultural communication," to "entrepreneurship," “Business in Hong Kong and Kyushu," and “Business Etiquette." In addition, we conducted 2 company visits (Ichiran, MCP Holdings) in Hong Kong.
Virtual Internship : 6 weeks
Students were assigned to start-up companies in Fukuoka to do virtual internship for 6 weeks.
To help Hong Kong students with the language and cultural understanding, students from Kyushu were paired to experience the internship together, which allowed all participants to have multinational collaborative experience.
