How has CLP's internship programme grown? The programme was established in 1998 offering full-time hands-on work experience to university students. It covers a wide range of project scopes for students in different study disciplines. They work with dedicated mentors and experienced subject professionals, acquiring new skills and abilities that enhance their profiles.

The programme is split into different parts. One is for summer interns and another is a 12-month sandwich programme. The aim is to create a win-win-win situation that benefits the students, the universities and CLP by building long-term partnerships. We identify and nurture young, talented people who work on specific projects, gaining valuable and practical experience as well as great sense of achievement.
