The Sultanah Fatima Foundation in Johor will allocate RM 1 million to launch a “Johor-based, international-oriented” e-commerce internship program, which will allow 500 Chinese-Americans to practice internships with Chinese companies and train them to develop e-commerce skills.
Youths 21 to 35 years of age can apply for internship with Chinese companies
The program is open to registration for young Chinese nationals between 21 and 35 years old in Johor. Participants must hold a bachelor degree. The young people participating in this program will go to China’s five companies for a three- to six-month internship, including the China e-commerce giant Alibaba headquarters and its subsidiary in Hangzhou, China.
After completing the internship, young people participating in the e-commerce internship program can not only expand their horizons and accumulate work experience, but also acquire e-commerce related technologies and help transform the SMEs in the future. The Jomtien Sultan Fatima Charitable Foundation in Johor has hosted the Internet Innovation and Entrepreneurship Training Programme for the first time last year and has benefited 220 Chinese youth.
Launching of Malaysian Chinese Women’s Entrepreneurs Foundation E-Commerce Micro Credit
In addition, on the day of the promotion of the e-commerce internship program (April 22), the Malaysian Chinese Women’s Entrepreneurs Foundation E-Commerce Micro Credit will also be launched. This micro-credit foundation caters to Chinese-American women between the ages of 18 and 45. It provides loans for RM5,000-30,000 and only 4% interest rates are given to help women start their businesses.
