"I am very thankful to the office for providing me with a great work environment, with my own space to complete my work, but also full access to the office’s facilities."
"My internship at the International Secretariat of the Pacific Economic Cooperation Council (PECC) was a very valuable experience, both professionally and personally. It was an experience that brought me closer to Hong Kong, introduced me to Singapore and culminated in my return to Washington, DC."
"Not only did I deepen my intellectual understanding of many global issues, I also acquired practical skills. Moreover, the internship has inspired me on the future path. As a business student, I am very grateful for the exposure to the “other side” of the world – the non profit-making sector: NGOs, academics and governments."
"I had many interests at PECC some of which I did not think I would have had an interest in. I have an interest in the TPP, RCEP and international institutions such as PECC, APEC and ASEAN as well as regional integration."
