The first FPT Education Global Remote Internship Scholarship (FEGRIS) has come to an end by the Closing Ceremony held by FPT Education Global last Friday (November 12, 2021). The event had witnessed the participation of 4 interns from Vietnam, Indonesia, India, Thailand, and representatives from Telkom University (Indonesia), Providence University (Taiwan), and FPT Education Global.
Beginning the Closing Ceremony, Santini Cahya Siti (Sansan) – an Indonesian intern from Telkom University shared with the audience about her journey of working at FPT Education Global. “It was better than my expectations before joining the program. I’ve enhanced my communication skills, research skills, time-management skills, and negotiation skills,” shared Sansan. “Before, I thought that I was suitable for working alone because I could be active in completing the tasks. After joining FEGRIS, I found that having a teammates is something amazing.”
FEGRIS is a 3-month program with an aim to provide students with a professional working environment experience through remote internship format. Right after open registration, the program attracted the interest of 13 participants of 6 universities from Bangladesh, Indonesia and Taiwan. Seven among them received the FEGRIS scholarship (4 for 100% and 3 for 50%).
After receiving the confirmation letter for the scholarship, students joined the Orientation Session which provides full information and the tasks that they need to complete. During the internship, students have the opportunity to work in Market Research position, under the mentorship of FEG’s representatives, with check-in and check-out activities for work progress report every week. The program is divided into 5 phases: Getting to know about the team, Goal & Expectation, Individual Project, Group Project and Feedback & Closing. Students also have the reflection period to review what they have gained, what needs to improve, and also difficulties during the task. Apart from that, there are Career Orientation sessions with essential knowledge to support students identify their goals and motivation for future career and Culture Race – a multicultural activity so that interns can understand more about each other by learning their different background.
Sharing about the program, Mr.Mark Lan – Regional Coordinator (Asia Region) of Province University (Taiwan) said: “This program is so great that I want to promote to our future students in Providence University as well since I already see the journey, the happiness, the fruitful outcome from our student Hanh and San San. This is the thing that probably we must let more people know. The most impressive thing is everything is very well-organized. In the beginning, there were info sessions, and then there’s individual work and teamwork. Students have a chance to experience various working environment and enhance essential skills. I’ve noticed how successful it has shaped students’ mindset and how it helps in career success.”
Hanh Luong (Tracy) – a Vietnamese student who is now studying in Province University (Taiwan) also confesses FEGRIS was her memorable internship experience. Not only gaining academic knowledge, she also had new friends who come from different nationalities, who are the new sisters from different races. “I would like to send my special thanks to Mr. Mark Lan – who introduced me to this opportunity, Mr. Hai Vu – the Director of Global Mobility, FPT Education Global, Ms. Ha Ta – Coordinator of FEGRIS and also my mentor, other FEG’s staffs for helping me in my internship,” shared Hanh.
