Combine a Chinese language course and on-the-job exposure with an internship in Asia; develop and enhance Chinese business skills in an international environment. Being an intern in China is a great way to learn about company culture; global internship opportunities are the key to success for today’s young people!
Internships in China are available in a range of different industries including: marketing, business, logistics, event management, teaching, tourism, logistics, real estate and more. Although we ask for each applicant’s 3 preferred industries, we cannot guarantee a placement in these industries but can guarantee a final placement in a company in China. The working language at these companies is often English first and Chinese second.

Internship Testimonial
Here is a short testimonial from Stephanie who recently undertook a 4 month internship at 9 Dragons – a recently opened 5 star Chinese resort 1 hour out of Shanghai. Her responsibilities included staff training in Western service standards and conducting a program of business improvement. “My work experience has ended and I wanted to thank you. Despite the language barriers, I have the impression I have made progress and learned a lot about Chinese language, Chinese working habits and mentality, teaching skills and dealing with a 99% Chinese environment. I’m very pleased to have participated in this prestigious and ambitious project which we’ll know very soon (to be) an important success.” Stephanie, France
