Student testimonial
(Remote)
While I felt nervous entering my global internship, the Asia Ready Program gave me greater confidence, awareness and the skills I need to succeed in this experience. I feel more prepared to take on my internship now that I understand the cultural dynamics, regional environment and have insight into the local language. Hearing from previous students in the program and professionals in the region, and understanding the program expectations, resources and support has given me a comprehensive guide of how I should expect to navigate and conduct myself throughout. I found the language training and diverse speakers a really unique and powerful addition to the program which I got a lot of benefit from. Now that I have commenced my placement with AustCham Hong Kong, I have been largely immersed into the organisation and the Hong Kong business environment. The preparation and orientation before commencement really helped me find my footing. I have enjoyed working with AustCham and have found many opportunities to learn and enhance my skills as I navigate the remote internship.

Industry testimonial
It was great to have Rory McGregor aboard for six weeks as a part of the Samurai Sports team. He was able to transfer and apply the knowledge gained from his studies into a real-world setting pertaining to sports in Japan. His recommendations and insight in his SWOT analysis project were thought-provoking and has created discussion within our team. I was happy to see the way he took initiative during our meetings with ideas and opinions. Rory's forth-coming and easy-going manner meant he was the kind of co-worker you want to have in the office – he consistently produced the deliverables (plus some) and asked good questions.
Rory thrived with our emphasis on remote work; he was independent and worked autonomously and effectively, which we greatly appreciated. He’d be a valuable asset to any team and I would strongly recommend him to future potential employers.
We highly recommend the Griffith Asia Business Internships Program to other organisations considering host an internship student.
