EK, the director of CCIP and my supervisor at FUSIA, is an expert at analyzing people. Because of her, I got a better understanding of my strengths and weaknesses so that I had a better opportunity to improve myself. During the internship, I had the chance to meet different people from different cultures. I improved in communication skills, which definitely helps me in my current job a lot.

My experience at CCIP was my first internship and the most memorable one. I have made really good friends with some fellow participants.

Pak Ming Kwek 11

My life has two distinct phases: Pre-CCIP and Post-CCIP. I am still amazed at how much I was able to learn and experience during that short 7 weeks. As a Chemical Engineering undergrad with minimal exposure, the New York experience laid the foundation for my transition to a finance career and greatly contributed to my development as an international business leader. The importance of having a global perspective cannot be overstated and the CCIP pushes you out of your comfort zone in Asia to achieve just that. The experience had a profound influence on the mindset and leadership philosophy that I maintain throughout my career and I am excited to know that you will have the opportunity to go through the same transformation. Moreover, the CCIP alumni continues to expand over the years and joining CCIP connects you with not just 50 interns, but also ~1000 amazing seniors across Singapore, Hong Kong and China. It’s truly a life-changing experience so make sure you don’t miss this opportunity of a lifetime. Have a great time staying in Flushing and don’t worry about being homesick, there’s always Joe’s Shanghai to save the day!

This experience helped me get the job finally. I think what employers are looking for is quite similar: efficiency, adaptability, and a solution-oriented mindset, which you can definitely cultivate in this great internship opportunity.

Henry Wang 11

My experience at Harry's Home Care has really shaped my career. I not only had the opportunity to learn the Medicare/Medicaid system and manage the accounting needs for HHC, but also gained hands on experience dealing with people in North American business settings.

Zoie Chow 13

I appreciate the opportunity to work with creative and open-minded foreigners. There are no boundaries when working and come up ideas together – the working style is so different from where I came from. This experience pushed me out of my comfort zone, and even out of my country – to Singapore.

Josh Siu 13

Through CCIP, I learned about communication – an essential factor of success. I've found that communication is an essential factor of success.

My experience at the U.S. Congressional Office with Grace Meng’s team opened up opportunities for me in the years to follow. I managed to assist in Hillary Clinton’s Presidential Campaign in 2016 and helped organize rallies for President Bill Clinton, and President Obama, as a senior communications fellow under the DNC. I have then moved on to joining Bloomberg as a financial services specialist.

Syn Yeow Foo 14

CCIP is fun and enriching – absolutely a highly recommended program. Through CCIP, I learned life skills that are much needed in the working world. Most of all, it boosted my job prospects. After CCIP, I immediately got my first job offer even before graduating from NUS.

Vivian Liu 14

The CCIP is the best journey to experience the Big Apple, by building meaningful connections, and living as a local. If you really want to learn about New York City, intern there.

Dan Bin Noorrashid 14

My experience with CCIP and interning in New York is one of the best times of my adult life.

Mirana Yang 15

This internship not only helped strengthen my portfolio to stand out from the crowd, but it also helped me sharpen the direction of my future career and education path. Most of all, it is very different to work in New York than in Hong Kong. New York emphasizes work-life balance. Thus, almost every student “graduated” from the overseas internship as an excellent time manager.

Owen Ye 16

There’s no better way of understanding American politics and government than really interning at a government office in the U.S.. The time I spent in New York provided me with insights in American culture, politics, and way of life, which are transferable knowledge when it comes to work.

Karwing Xie 16

Jessie Yang 16

I am lucky to have joined CCIP twice. In my first year, I interned at Sing Tao Daily News. In my second year, I interned at FUSIA with EK, my lifetime mentor. It was an extraordinary chapter in my life. I learned to work with people and expanded my networked tremendously, and opportunities followed. After my two internships with CCIP, I got another offer from Xinhua News Agency, and am now interning at Amazon, Seattle.

Hayley Chau 17

CCIP came with many obvious benefits, but many are intangible and cannot be expressed in words. I am glad to have joined this program in my final year – I was mature enough to perceive its value and understand how it helped me advance to the next step in my career. I am grateful to EK who went above and beyond her responsibilities to help me land a spot in a sought-after graduate program. Thank you!
