Corporate Social
Responsibility
To give the students an insight into
corporate management and culture at
the company, Mr. Patrick Lam, managing
director of YICT, also held a discussion
session with the interns during the
programme. He shared experiences from
his school days through to his career,
providing the students with insights on
working in the industry. He also provided
the students with advice on how to
improve their learning abilities and
how to forge a successful career.
Offering opportunities for the next
generation to learn about the industry,
HIT conducted its annual summer
internship programme in June 2012.
The programme involved six
staff members from Contract and
Procurement, Engineering, Operations
and Operations Development and
Technology, mentoring and guiding
the 33 tertiary students throughout
an eight-week programme during
which they were assigned to work at a
particular department in order to gain
actual working experience. HIT also
arranged for the students team building
workshops and terminal tours to HIT,
YICT and Zhuhai International Container
Terminals (Gaolan).
Summer Camp Exchange Programme
On 30 July 2012, 12 students from
Dahaicun Hope Primary School
participated in the seventh annual
YICT Summer Camp. This programme
was established in 2005 as a reward
for school children who had excelled
academically in the last school year.
As part of the 2012 programme, the
students learnt calligraphy and staged
performances with other students from
Tianxin Primary School in the Yantian
District. These interactive activities
allowed the children not only to make
new friends, but also broadened their
exposure to new skills and cultural
knowledge.
In July 2012, YICT, along with Hong Kong
charity group Chi Heng Foundation,
organised a day trip to Shenzhen for 30
students from underprivileged families in
Central China. The students were given
an overview of the port operations at
YICT, a tour of the facilities and a boat
trip along the quayside. It is the third
year of collaboration between the two
organisations, with the initiative already
beneftting around 100 students.
How many heads of state have
visited HIT over the years?
A total of 19 heads of state and royal
family members, with another 107 top
level government offcials from around
the world, have visited HIT since 1991.
