Description: As a professional business internship program, we offer placements in different business areas such as business development, consulting, sales and marketing, human resources, sourcing, trading, export and supply chain management, start-up and product launch.

We have partnered with a wide set of local and international companies in Shanghai resulting in internship entries available throughout the year for our program participants.

You will get involved with the daily operations of your company and will find yourself attending business meetings, working on new projects and meeting clients. It is not uncommon to be given important responsibilities right from the outset of your placement.

Highlights: In 30 years, China has turned from a poor, developing country to one of the biggest economies in the world, with the largest foreign exchange reserves and the biggest foreign holdings of U.S. government bonds.

Young people who want to work in international business and commerce must take notice of this fundamental shift. Knowledge of China, of the Chinese language, of Chinese thinking and business practices and of Chinese people will be essential to those who want to work in the global economy. Such knowledge will be a trump card on your curriculum vitae which you send to prospective employers. Global firms want employees who have the ability to deal with China, its companies and its people.

This programme offers you a unique opportunity to come to China and see the country from the inside. This programme arranges for you an internship in a major Chinese or foreign company in Shanghai. It opens the door for you to take the first step on your Chinese adventure. Do not let slip such a precious opportunity and make one of the best investments for your future.
