Head to China for a Summer Internship
̣€˜Business in Booming"Many of these visitors are keen to take advantage of the rapid economic growth that the country has been enjoying for the past decade ̣€“ business is booming here, which makes it the perfect destination for ambitious graduates and young high flyers keen to experience the cutting edge of modern global business. For this reason, the popularity of summer internships in China is steadily growing.
Daniel Nivern director of Beijing internship specialists CRCC Asia, is very familiar with the benefits of China internships. He says, "we are getting a lot of very ambitious high-flyers from top universities who want a career in banking, finance or consulting. They are driven by two factors: the desire to have something on their CV that makes them stand out in an increasingly competitive jobs market back home, and the appeal of working in an economy that is really booming."
Combine Work and Play
As China intern, you"ll also experience far more than the way the country does business: you could take Mandarin Chinese lessons which will allow you to bargain at the local markets and find your way around rarely glimpsed streets and hutongs. You"ll enjoy plenty of social events and outings that will allow you to understand the country"s culture and history, and many of your fellow interns will become close friends; professional and personal relationships that you form here will last long after you return home.
̣€˜What I loved most about China is the immense variety it provideṣ€¦from visiting the Great Wall to munching on deep-fried scorpion at the night market", says former Beijing intern David Kane, who spent two months in Beijing with China with CRCC Asia.
With so much opportunity to tap into, it is easy to understand why China is attracting the best and most ambitious interns and graduates - so if you"re planning to make the most of your summer, why not take advantage of everything this amazing country has to offer with a summer China internship?
