I had a great time in London, learnt a lot during my internship, which was really busy and the only thing I would highlight is it can get a bit lonely after work, especially if you don’t anyone in the city. I brought this up with CP and they were kind enough to invite me to a few of their office drinks, which really helped and they sent a few suggestions in terms of events where others new to the city meetup. This really helped and made my experience in London so much better and I really enjoyed my time there.

You really have to go out of your way to meet people. This is something I would encourage anyone looking to intern abroad think about as it can really make or break your time abroad. I am not an extrovert by any means and this was very difficult for me at the beginning but I am glad I had this experience.

Overall, I really enjoyed my time and would not hesitate to do another internship abroad.
Overall, I really enjoyed my time and would not hesitate to do another internship abroad.

My involvement with Capital Placement went well beyond my initial expectations. The people I lived with, worked with and met through this program were all really nice and they are the main reason why my time with the Capital Placement has been so meaningful. I’ve made deep connections with the people I’ve met there and have made memories that will last a lifetime.

More than this, living and working in London in itself was very important experience for me. The Capital Placement is there to provide you help and guidance but you also have the chance to discover the city on your own time as well. It’s easy to meet people outside of the program and everyone is helpful when you want to check a new place downtown, whether it’s an eatery, bar or shop.

I can go on writing what an unimaginable possibility it was to be part of the Capital Placement's summer Internship program, but I believe it’s best that you come and experience for yourself.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?

Surprised to see how diverse London was! The city was filled with people from all around the world which I find was amazing!

I thoroughly enjoyed working in London as a fashion intern for a period of 5 months. I worked for a well known designer based in West London and they are a team of 15. Working with a small team helped me a lot and I can say I learnt many thing during my internship.

The assistance with the workplace arrangements and housing in London was smooth. Capital Placement also paid for an Oyster Card which made my stay even better as I was able to easily see the city!

There was one misunderstanding when I wanted to write to my place of work place regarding holiday but Capital Placement support team quickly resolved it. Apart from that I view the whole 5 months programme as a recommended one as I highly see myself going back for it once I complete my degree.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?

Plan everything well in advance and don't leave it until the last minute!

I had a great internship with a LegalTech startup in London. I worked directly with the Founders during the internship, the team members and the working environment were great! Everyone during the internship were always more than happy to take the time to help and offer advice when needed.

Capital Placement were very helpful throughout the whole process and I had a great time in London overall. I look forward to coming back next year for another internship in London!

I was part of a summer group where we all worked for different firms including NGOs, property firms, FinTech, HealthTech startups, etc. I interned at an accounting firm in East London. During my internship, my Supervisor and the other colleagues were really nice and friendly, they helped me a lot with adjusting to life in the UK and were especially helpful in the first week, which made me feel supported and welcome. The single most important thing I learnt during the internship was not be afraid to ask for help when you are unsure. The more you asked, the more you gain from the internship. I am so glad I did this programme, I had an opportunity to live and work in a great city like London, made some great friends and learnt a lot professionally throughout the programme.

This programme is a great opportunity to experience London life and experience the London work environment first hand. Working in a medium sized company helped me meet and get to know every colleague in the company. This in turn help me get more exposure and how the various departments work. I want to say a huge thanks to my colleagues who always found time to help me and answer my endless list of questions! This experience has definitely had an influence on my future career path and it has taught me to push myself beyond what I am usually comfortable with.Once I am back, I am sure I will miss living in London, it is such a great city!

I would highly recommend this to anyone thinking on applying.

As part of this programme. staying in the UK for nearly 2 months allowed me to get to know more about the country's culture, people and politics. Doing an internship programme like this is a great opportunity to deepen your understanding of the career you wish to pursue. Although the working environment and future prospect may differ in different countries, by actively participating in discussions with colleagues you will gain a lot of insight into your career path and how things can work in alternatives. Supervisors are always willing to teach and share, so do not hesitate to ask questions!

One of the best experiences during the programme was the international party that the accommodation provider threw. We were invited to taste homemade food from the country's were other residents came from!

My best tip would be to plan ahead before you arrive and have plans for every weekend you are in London so you can make the most out of the experience.

After this internship, I know more about the working environment in the United Kingdom, it is so different from what I am used to in Hong Kong. In the United Kingdom, the working environment is more relaxed due to not many restrictions during office hours. For example, staff can choose to have lunchtime whenever they prefer, etc. which is not the norm in HK and there is a real emphasis on work life balance. I was pretty fortunate that my office has a number of free before and after work activities such as Monday Yoga Class, Wednesday Pizza Day and Friday drinks night, which was a great way for me to meet people and socialise. This internship has given me an unforgettable experience and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone thinking of applying for it.

Questions & Answers

If doing CP for a career switch, how did employers react to your work experience when applying for permanent positions?

Answer this question

Staff Interviews

These are in-depth Q&A sessions with program leaders.

What is your favorite travel memory?

It has to be when I went to Rome. I'm a big history person and I love carbs, so Rome was my place! I got to explore the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Roman Forum, the Trevi fountain and literally all the piazzas and went to Vatican city. Also, I got to eat my heart out in pasta, pizza, and gelato. It was a surreal experience to see and experience such historical things for myself. I think about Rome a lot still and I have plans to return.

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

I have become more confident in my ability to do great work and pitch forward any ideas that I think would help us better improve. Additionally, I've become more responsible, timely, professional, and just learn to accept failure when it happens and move forward. Also, I learned to not shy away from hearing what I needed to improve on and use that information to really grow within my field. All things that I feel helped me grow from being a shy and timid graduate to someone open to improving herself and being confident along the way.

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

One of our interns got the opportunity to fly out and represent her host company in Milan, all expenses paid. While she was there, she met other professionals in the fashion industry like her and they connected and it turns out they had an office in her city back in the US. She then was able to use that network connection to secure some designs for her final year project.

Not only did she get to fly to out to Milan, but she also met important people in her field who helped her later on both in her career and while she was studying at University. Talk about connections!!

If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?

I would do our 6-month graduate internship in London. I really like this program because it is a sustainable internship with it being a paid internship. It also fully immerses you into the London work culture and lifestyle. You truly get a full understanding of what it means to be a part of the company and are treated as a full-time staff member as well.

I think the length of it, the fact that it’s paid and that you are doing the same work as graduates are doing really gives you an advantage over your peers and a great internship experience.

What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?

What I love about my company is that it focuses on sustainable internship experiences and a one-to-one experience for our interns. It is not a secret that studying or interning abroad is very pricey, and because of that, it often limits people from it. Capital Placement is working on getting paid internships for our interns participating in our graduates' programs for 6-months. This allows our interns to get work experience, make some money and survive in some of the world's most expensive cities.

By focusing on sustainable internships, we can open the doors and opportunities for so many inspiring students and graduates who may not have had the chance. I'm was especially proud of our team when we decide to introduce a scholarship to further help students intern abroad. It was great to be a part of a team that wanted to help others.

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

I think the biggest factor is, to be honest. This factor will determine the type of company you are and the environment you create for yourself and your employees. Additionally, it will also help a company because their customers know they are honest and will, in turn, allow customers to comfortably trust and respect your mission. In the end, being honest will help a company stay successful in the long-term.

London, although typically regarded for its architecture and city lifestyle, is made up of 40% public green space in the form of incredibly lush parks. London has created an environment where you can spend the day enjoying city life and then escape to Primrose hill, the Thames, or a walk by the canals.
