Global technology brand HONOR today announced it is launching the HONOR Academy ‘Stand Out With HONOR’ global creative program at hihonor.com. ‘Stand Out With HONOR’ invites young people to take part in a series of challenges to showcase their creativity for the chance to earn a four-week paid internship at Grey in the UK and in Germany. HONOR is also partnering with creative graphics software company Affinity to launch a series of video tutorials to help students take their job hunting skills and CVs to the next level, empowered by the HONOR MagicBook.

Launched in 2020, HONOR Academy is dedicated to helping young people and students to stay productive, master new skills and unleash their creativity by offering exclusive learning and development opportunities. Following the success of HONOR Academy, HONOR is launching  the ‘Stand Out With HONOR’ global creative program to encourage more creativity and to provide a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for young people to get directly in front of creative business leaders to showcase why they have what it takes to earn the coveted internship.

George Zhao, president of HONOR said: “2020 is a year filled with uncertainty and for those fresh out of university, the competition for jobs is tougher than ever. Through our Stand Out with HONOR creative program with Affinity and Grey, we want to help young people take full advantage of their own creativity and utilise tech tools like the HONOR MagicBook Series to get a head start, by helping them stand out from the crowd and make a winning first impression.”
