HSBC Supports Internship Programme for Public School Students

HSBC Bank Middle East Limited-Jordan has fully funded an internship programme designed for public school students. Recognising that experiencing new cultures broadens the horizons of students, the internship programme fully covered sending two public school students to the United Kingdom for a four week course.

HSBC Jordan aims, through this special programme, to help bridge the cultural divide for students, and enrich both their cultural and academic skills through such educational schemes in the UK.

In order to further enhance this cultural exchange, the two students were hosted by two English families. HSBC Jordan has fully funded this expense including the visa, travel expenses, tuition fees, accommodation, as well as personal expenses.
