Alibaba Cloud Welcomed 7 UM Interns as the Company's 1st Batch Future Star Internship Program
On 4 June 2024, Alibaba Cloud officially launched it's first batch of Future Star Internship Program, an internship collaboration between the company and the Center for Integral Learning (CITRA), Universiti Malaya (UM).
The event was attended by Kevin Guo Alibaba Cloud Human Resource Director, Dr. Serrene Leong, CITRA's Director of Industrial Training & Community Division, Queena Ma Alibaba Cloud Human Resource Manager and Sixuan Chen Alibaba Cloud Future Star Program Human Resource.
The 7 UM interns are each pared with a mentor who will personally guide the students throughout the internship duration. The students are also trained, comprehensively equipped and will be certified with Alibaba Cloud Professional Certificate, Alibaba Cloud Business User Certificate, and relevant AI & Cloud Computing trainings.
The Future Star Internship Program is not just about giving students a taste of the professional world; they're about nurturing talent, fostering growth, and building bridges between academia and industry. The kickoff event to welcome interns sets the stage for a fruitful journey ahead, both for the interns and the hosting organization.
Creating Excitement:
The kickoff event serves as the first impression for interns entering the workplace. It's an opportunity to ignite excitement and anticipation for the experiences that lie ahead. From the moment interns step through the door, they should feel welcomed, valued, and inspired.
Orientation and Guidance:
Beyond the warm welcome, the kickoff event plays a crucial role in orienting interns to the organization's culture, values, and expectations. Presentations, workshops, and interactive sessions can provide valuable insights into the company's mission, vision, and goals. Moreover, it's an opportunity to familiarize interns with key policies, procedures, and resources essential for their success.
Networking Opportunities:
Internships are not just about the work; they're also about building connections. The kickoff event provides a platform for interns to connect with their peers, mentors, and other professionals within the organization. Icebreaker activities, team-building exercises, and networking sessions can facilitate meaningful interactions and lay the foundation for collaborative relationships.
We look forward to welcoming many more batches of UM students in the future, continuing to strengthen this valuable partnership and fostering the next generation of industry leaders.
