Citibank Taiwan Ltd (花旗台灣) welcomes all students currently in their third year of college, or first year of their master’s program, who are exceptionally passionate or harbor solid ambitions for the financial sector, to tender their applications for Citibank Taiwan’s 2023 summertime internship program at oncampus.citi.com before Nov. 20, the bank said in a press release on Tuesday.
As a global financial institute, Citibank has always been committed to fostering talent and has over the years continued to invest more into its international professional talent development program.
Citigroup Inc is expecting to launch a series of internship programs in all markets globally next year, and Citibank Taiwan is looking to recruit between 10 and 20 financial department interns over the summer period.

The bank has to date held two on-campus recruitment drives and will also be holding an online recruitment drive, allowing those interested in a career in the financial sector to have a direct face-to-face with Citibank Taiwan’s management team and better understand how the company functions, as well as what training programs are in place.
Summer internship programs have long been one of the primary sources of Citigroup’s reserve pool for management. At Citi, interns will be able to see, first-hand, how an international bank works and in so doing, obtain the opportunity to learn additional skill sets.
Citigroup provides extensive professional training, alongside plenty of chances to meet high-level management at the bank, supporting the future growth and development of those who decide to intern with the group.
Over the past few years, half of all interns that performed with excellence during their internship were allowed to work directly for the bank as management trainees upon the conclusion of their internship. This means that they have been given a chance to work at one of the top-notch banks in the world one year before their graduation.
Management trainees at Citigroup will not only be afforded the opportunity to work in different departments, but they will also have the chance to participate in the group’s international talent-fostering programs.
For example, Citigroup in July arranged for management trainees to visit Citigroup headquarters in New York and stay in the city for several weeks of intensive training, learning how to work with an international team and be more receptive to different values and opinions.
In addition, more and more management trainees have departed to work abroad in Hong Kong, Singapore, Vietnam, India and other countries after the conclusion of their training, allowing them to experience the work environment overseas and become well-rounded international finance workers.
Citigroup’s internship program was introduced in Taiwan in 1977, including a comprehensive management trainee fostering program that has been responsible for the training of countless talented financial individuals, including Citibank Taiwan chairman Paulus Mok (莫兆鴻) and president Christie Chang (張聖心), both of whom have started to work at Citigroup via the internship program.
To encourage more people to apply amid growing need for cross-field financial talent, Citibank Taiwan’s 2023 summer internship program will not be limited to students from finance or business management programs, and is opening its arms to embrace a more diverse crowd of applicants.

Application-specific integrated circuit designer Faraday Technology Corp (智原) yesterday said that although revenue this quarter would decline 30 percent from last quarter, it retained its full-year forecast of revenue growth of 100 percent. The company attributed the quarterly drop to a slowdown in customers’ production of chips using Faraday’s advanced packaging technology. The company is still confident about its revenue growth this year, given its strong “design-win” — or the projects it won to help customers design their chips, Faraday president Steve Wang (王國雍) told an online earnings conference. “The design-win this year is better than we expected. We believe we will win
Chizuko Kimura has become the first female sushi chef in the world to win a Michelin star, fulfilling a promise she made to her dying husband to continue his legacy. The 54-year-old Japanese chef regained the Michelin star her late husband, Shunei Kimura, won three years ago for their Sushi Shunei restaurant in Paris. For Shunei Kimura, the star was a dream come true. However, the joy was short-lived. He died from cancer just three months later in June 2022. He was 65. The following year, the restaurant in the heart of Montmartre lost its star rating. Chizuko Kimura insisted that the new star is still down
While China’s leaders use their economic and political might to fight US President Donald Trump’s trade war “to the end,” its army of social media soldiers are embarking on a more humorous campaign online. Trump’s tariff blitz has seen Washington and Beijing impose eye-watering duties on imports from the other, fanning a standoff between the economic superpowers that has sparked global recession fears and sent markets into a tailspin. Trump says his policy is a response to years of being “ripped off” by other countries and aims to bring manufacturing to the US, forcing companies to employ US workers. However, China’s online warriors
