The internship will last for at least 3 months (more than 3 months is preferred).

Despite the large number of applications received every year, we limit our intake to a small number of interns annually. The Internship Programme operates year-round. In order to facilitate the processing of applications, HKIAC divides its Internship Programme into generally three terms. HKIAC may consider late applications in exceptional circumstances. 

The term schedules for 2023 and 2024 are as follows:

Term 1:

8 February 2023 to 31 July 2023

Term 2:

1 August 2023 to 31 October 2023

Term 3:

Applications will be reviewed on a pool basis. The closing date to apply for Term 1 is 30 December 2022.
