CNET comments
“Chatteris has been a great graduate experience. The learning curve is steep, but once you
get there after the first month or two, everything falls into place and you can really start
making a difference in your school and throughout Hong Kong. Go for everything. Don't
spend your evenings sitting on your sofa. Set up a life for yourself here even if it's only
for a year. Branch out and meet all sorts of people. The goodbyes will be a lot harder,
but the memories will be that much better.”
Laura, CNET, USA
“The Chatteris International Graduate Programme has been an excellent opportunity for me
to develop both professionally and personally. My self-confidence has grown
immeasurably and I'm now willing to take on challenges and get involved with the
projects that interest me.”
Stephanie, CNET, UK
“Has been a fantastic year that initially I did not think would be as rewarding as it has been.
You really need to just throw yourself into everything Chatteris has to offer and you will
get so much from the great experience!”
Sophie, CNET, UK

CNET comments
“Being involved in the CIGP has been a really good experience. I have really appreciated all
of the cultural activities I have been able to get involved in such as Chinese New Year
festivities, Dragon boating, and Mid-Autumn Festival. I would say that the job can be
quite challenging at times and you have to keep an open mind and be able to work well
in a team as a lot of the things you get involved with will require teamwork. I have loved
Hong Kong, it is such a fantastic city and has been a great place to live in and explore
for the last ten months, I will definitely be coming back here!”
Gemma, CNET, UK
“I value the opportunity to have worked internationally with people from other countries. I
value having learned about Chinese culture without the obstruction of stereotypes. I
value having made an impact on increasing the English-speaking confidence of my
students and finally, I value having seen Asia through different eyes.”
Rosie, CNET,
USA

CNET comments
“It (the Chatteris International Graduate Programme) offers you the chance to experience a new
culture, meet a very different set of people and work in a real school. You also get plenty of
support throughout the year and feel part of an international team.”
Nick, CNET, UK
“If you want a good challenge and like overcoming obstacles, then this programme will definitely
satisfy your whim. It will equip you with transferable skills and tools for any given work
environment. It will supply you with endless priceless moments and memories. You will have
probably the best year of your life so far!
Caroline, CNET, UK
“I value most the skills I have acquired or improved on, for example flexibility, communication skills,
organisation skills, confidence leadership etc. I have also cherished the opportunity to travel
and will never forget Hong Kong, or the friends I have made whilst here.”
Hannah, CNET, UK
