Hong Kong is Asia's fashion center and the heart of the global apparel industry. An 8 week internship program
provides students with hands-on experience working with well-known multinational
corporations and other organizations with offices in this dynamic city. Interns have been placed with VF Corporation,
Under Armour, Crocs, Ann Taylor, Hugo Boss, Target, PVH, Levi Strauss & Company, Li & Fung,
Inside Fashion Magazine, and others where they work side by side with executive
expatriates and Chinese professionals on product development, merchandising, market
research, sourcing, branding, sustainability, and other areas of the business.
This
resume building activity often provides students the opportunity to visit mills
and factories in mainland China as well as attending major wholesale apparel
markets and Hong Kong Fashion Week. In
their spare time, students can go to local attractions, participate
in dragon boat races, shop the local markets and fine retail stores, and travel
regionally.
Students who
participate in the Hong Kong internship study abroad program come back with a renewed global perspective, industry knowledge, professional networks, and strong international resume.
