Study UK Student Ambassadors scheme: Work experience for your Hong Kong students

British Council Hong Kong is looking for student ambassadors to work with the Hong Kong office in July and August 2019. It is aimed at Hong Kong students aged 16 or above (by 2 July 2019) who are currently studying in the UK.

Roles of the student ambassadors
The ambassadors will work with the International Education Services team for the duration of the contract period to promote the work, life and opportunities that come from studying in the UK. They will provide a wider perspective of studying by sharing knowledge and experience with Hong Kong students, encouraging greater participation and awareness of UK education. Their participation includes but not limited to assisting in Study UK fairs, pre-departure briefings, and in preparing media articles and interviews.

The programme is contract based with a fixed stipend and working period, and would be highly beneficial for students’ professional and personal development.
