GCL is administered by Cultural Vistas in conjunction with the Hong Kong America Center
My work was about online media. During my internship, I learned about so many companies in United States. For the final project, me and my workmate created a video for the marketing department of our company to sell our products.

It improved my understanding deeply towards foreign culture and gave me an enlightenment of how government and non-government organizations could work together to build an efficiency system for people, community and society.

GCL Participant
I think internship was the most meaningful part about my program city. I improved my English skill, especially my listening skill and oral skill. Secondly, I learnt the accounting software, which applied my knowledge to the practice. Moreover, I learnt how to adapt myself to a new environment.

GCL Participant
This internship program taught me to adapt to a new and unfamiliar environment with culture totally different from my home country. And I got a good knowledge about the work and life environment in the United States. I believe this experience will bring me a better opportunity in finding a job after graduation. I really appreciate
this program.
