FAQ - JARDINE INTERNSHIP
Q
I’m not a business student, can I apply?
The Jardine Internship Programme is not limited to Business students. In fact, we welcome candidates from broad and diverse backgrounds to bring different perspectives to our business.
Q
I don’t have a business background. How do I prepare for the selection process?
Our trainees come from all degree disciplines, and many of them do not have a business degree. We focus more on your leadership qualities and attitudes, rather than your technical knowledge.
Find out more about the qualities we are looking for here. On top of that, information on our company website and financial reports will also help you better understand our business.
Q
Do you hire non-penultimate students or graduates?
Yes, we’re looking to recruit full-time university students graduating in 2023 to 2025, with no more than two years of full-time working experience.
If you have been working for a number of years, and accumulated a certain level of professionals experiences, you may want to consider applying for open positions under experienced hire.
Our JETS2023 in-take is now full. Applicants graduating between 2023 to 2025 will be considered for JETS2024 in-take and beyond.
Q
Do you convert your interns into full-time graduate programme trainees?
The internship is one of the routes to the Jardine Executive Trainee Scheme (JETS), as well as our Group Companies’ graduate programmes. Click here for more information on JETS.
Q
Can I make a speculative application by email?
You must apply by completing our online application form, which can be found here. Speculative applications by any other methods will not be considered.
Q
How many interns will Jardines take on each year?
We don’t have a quota. We’ll take on high-calibre individuals as long as they meet our selection criteria, demonstrate leadership potential and excel in their performance throughout the entire assessment process.
Q
If my application is successful, when will I start?
This year we have two internship in-take periods:
May 2023 In-Take (29 May – 4 August) and June 2023 In-Take (12 June - 18 August). These two periods apply to
all four internship locations (China, Hong Kong SAR, Singapore, and Vietnam).
We encourage you to choose the in-take that works best for your schedule.
Q
I applied to JIP/JETS previously and was not selected, can I re-apply?
If your application was unsuccessful and you would like to apply again, you’re most welcome to do so
the following year as long as you are eligible.
However, you can only submit one Jardine Internship Programme application per year.
Q
Do you sponsor visas?
We’re looking for individuals who have the right to work in China, Hong Kong SAR, Singapore, and
Vietnam.
We encourage you to apply to your home country or the country you are currently studying in.

communicate effectively with people from diverse backgrounds.
We pay special attention to
write the assessment items in plain English to ensure that – regardless of whether English is a first
or second language – all candidates will be on an equal playing field.
Q
Whom should I contact if I encounter technical problems (e.g. internet disconnection
during the test/can’t access the test platform)?
For Online Assessment Part A, in the rare case that you face technical challenges in completing a
question, you may refresh the page and try again. If the issue persists, please contact our assessment

and development, as well as your motivation to join us.
