Our main activity consists in finding internships in China.

By doing an internship in China you have the unique possibility to gain work experience in a country which represents the largest economical powerhouse, in terms of growth, in the world today.  Moreover, during an internship in China, most foreign students will be challenged to broaden their intercultural understanding and skills. An internship in China is probably the best way to get to know this fascinating country and its people. Considering the rapidly growing importance of the Chinese economy within the global marketplace, an internship placement with a local or multinational company will considerably add-value to your CV and future career possibilities.  Several studies by market research institutes suggest that by 2010, China will have surpassed the US and become the leading global economy.

However, the initial challenge for most students will be to find a company willing to host their internship in China. In some cases, your university at home will have information on institutions which facilitate study-exchanges and probably also internships for students. If you have a lot of time available, you can search the numerous jobsites and corporate websites on the internet for internship possibilities in China. 

From our experience, we can say that our applications to multinational companies in China will provide the best chances to gain an internship if you are a foreign student. Due to the overwhelmingly large number of multinational companies in China, especially in the cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Hongkong and the surrounding industrial areas, you have a large number of companies to send your application to. Moreover, many companies in China are used to the concept of internships. In countries such as e.g. India, it might be a bit harder to get a position.

You should be clear about the value you can bring into the company as a student. Candidates for local companies are often successful if they suggest e.g. to carry out market research studies or language services connected to their home country. Be clear and communicate consistently in your application for an internship position in china. If you already gained international experience in other countries, point that out. Being able to talk Chinese will give you an additional advantage. Adjust your application documents, or at least your covering letter, to the company and division you want to do your internship in. Explain the reasons why you want to do your internship in China.
