On the 26th of February 2022, YME held its very first event of the year, titled “Insights On Internship (I.O.I)” via Zoom and Facebook Live. Attended by over 105 participants, the event featured four speakers, each of them possessing distinct educational backgrounds from reputable universities and rich internship experiences from a range of industries. These included well-distinguished corporations such as ShopeePay, Schlumberger, HSBC London and PETRONAS Malaysia.
All four speakers initially shared their individual internship stories with great enthusiasm, and provided invaluable insights, information and ideas to our participants.
