A throwback to the Student Internship Program (SIP) in 2016. But did you know that the program even started earlier, namely 22 years ago in 2004, with one student placed directly with MDBC itself? The program continued to grow and we can proudly claim over 1,550 have undertaken an internship in Malaysia via our program. Join us as we peek into the program as it was a decade ago. Every face carries a story, and every story has woven together into a rich tapestry that makes up SIP. If you want to be part of the story, please contact Jolande at [email protected] or register directly via the link in the bio🌴💻🇲🇾!

Not all are with MDBC member companies. Some are directly with MDBC itself! Led by Jolande Jonge Poerink (SIP Manager) provides enthusiastic and knowledgeable interns, helping us (and our member - companies) complete projects and essential services as they gain valuable experience. This SIP Adventure is with Jochem van Est, let’s read on to learn more!

Hello my name is Jochem van Est. I study International Business at the Hanze UAS in Groningen and I am doing a 5 - month internship at MDBC in Kuala Lumpur.  At I am responsible for the ASEAN Dutch Chamber Network ( ) where I facilitate meetings between the directors and make and distribute the ADCN newsletter. In addition to ADCN I also do work directly for MDBC itself where I assist with events, the membership survey and marketing activities.

This is internship is a great to learn how to adapt to different work environments and develop my skills in cross - cultural communication and professional networking. Beyond the internship itself I also had the chance to travel on the weekends and visit many places such as Malacca, Ipoh, and Sumatra (Indonesia). I would highly recommend any student to work or study abroad at least once during their studies if they get the chance 🌴💻🇲🇾!
