Cultivating Diverse Talents to Drive Innovation
The programme welcomed five talented students from diverse backgrounds, who participated in a unique rotational structure across DFI Retail Group, Hongkong Land, and Maxim's Group. This expansive exposure allowed them to gain hands-on experience across various functions, including Finance, Marketing, Commercial, Corporate Social Responsibility, and People & Culture. Their unique cultural perspectives contributed significantly to enhancing team collaboration and problem-solving capabilities.

Strategic Importance
Ms. Joy Xu, Group Chief People & Culture Officer at DFI Retail Group, emphasised the programme's strategic importance, "The Diversity Internship Programme is a key part of that broader DE&I efforts and marks a significant step in our journey. We are committed to making deep, systemic investments to foster a truly inclusive culture, and focused on sustainable changes in recruiting early-stage talent from underrepresented groups. I'm confident that through programmes like this, we can continue to make progress towards our DE&I goals and build a workforce that brings diverse perspectives to drive innovation and better meet the needs of our customers."

She expressed her gratitude, stating, "This internship allowed me to delve into the corporate world, revealing potential career paths I hadn't considered before."
  • Jude Azuro, a fourth-year Finance student at the Hong Kong Baptist University, found his niche despite initial hesitations, "While I initially had doubts on my limited professional experience, I was thrilled to see meaningful and significant impact of my contributions."
  • Preeti Kaur, from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, actively participated in the Wellcome Marketing team. She shared, "Not only did I contribute to work tasks, I also felt genuinely integrated into the team culture, which included team-building activities with my colleagues."
