Introduction
“Operation Zhang Qian” Alumni Network was formed with the vision of encouraging continued success from the internship programme in 2016. Maritime Silk Road Society (MSRS) believe that a close relationship between interns, companies, and MSRS can result in great boosts to interns’ future.
The Alumni Network is not only a community for mutual support and sharing, but also a platform for mentorship. The Board of Mentors is composed of professional elites possessing valuable information and experience for interns to learn from. Mentors will be assigned to each selected intern on a one-on-one basis, as they serve an advisory role on academic and career matters.
