Is this the best internship in the world?

Singaporean social networking startup My Cube is offering 30 foreign students a 3-month paid internship with the best intern getting a $10,000 grant.

Young people ages 16-25 may apply to MyCube's grand internship program. 30 lucky student interns will receive a $3,000 Singapore dollar stipend, free round-trip airfare to Singapore, and paid housing for the six weeks, from 4 July to 12 August.

MyCube (www.mycube.com) is a social networking startup based in Singapore founded in late 2009. This internship program they offer will provide the selected members with training in company formation, fundraising, product development, marketing, financial management and more. Interns will attend lectures from internet and business experts, work on real-life case studies and new business ideas, and get significant hands-on work experience.

According to Amelie Hellners, the intern program coordinator, the top performing intern will receive a $10,000 Singapore dollar grant to further their studies or start their own company, and four runner-ups will have an all-expense paid trip to Ideas Island in the Philippines for one week of brainstorming and relaxation. After the program, interns will become MyCube “ambassadors” to their home country and may attend lectures, conferences and other events sponsored by MyCube, as well as serve as mentors to future participants of the program.

The application deadline is 5 June and the selected students will be contacted by 10 June.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
