"For me, CIMB Headstart Internship Programme (CHIP) was about more than just gaining work experience. It was about meeting new people, learning from those around me and discovering what life beyond the classroom looks like. Every new task and conversation gave me a different perspective, while pushing me to step outside my comfort zone. I’ve learned that sometimes, the best lessons come from simply being willing to try something new!"

"The CIMB Headstart Internship Programme (CHIP) was more than an internship; it accelerated my professional growth and paved the way for my continued journey with CIMB. In Group Technology, I gained hands-on exposure to wholesale banking technology projects, stakeholder management, and project coordination while applying my academic knowledge in a real-world setting. CHIP strengthened my critical thinking, adaptability, and confidence, while laying a strong foundation for my transition into the Entry Level Programme (ELP), where I continue to deepen my banking knowledge and professional capabilities. I am grateful for the opportunities, guidance, and trust I received, which continue to shape how I learn, grow, and embrace new opportunities."

"Coming from a Biochemical Engineering background, I never imagined how much I would learn about the world of sustainable finance! My time with CHIP gave me the chance to work on meaningful projects, learn from experienced professionals and even moderate panel discussions at Discovery Day. Each experience pushed me to communicate better, take initiative and see things from a different perspective. It showed me that your degree doesn’t have to define where your career takes you!"
