Abstract | To let tertiary students understand more about the actual working environment in their fields of study and to enhance their social experience, internship programmes are provided by some departments such as communication, social work and engineering. In the Social Work Department of the University of Hong Kong, the internship is a compulsory course in which students are required to work at social services organizations during the summer vacation of their second year of study. Miss Petula Sik-ying Ho, field instructor in the Social Work and Social Administration Department of the University of Hong Kong, finds the summer placement programme very meaningful, as it benefits both the students and the needy in the community. In this article, some university students share their internship experiences with the author. |
