Internship Program in Yunnan - Lonely Planet’s Top Choice in China
Description
This internships program is designed for students who want to gain valuable work experience in China and develop insights into the business culture of the world’s fastest growing economy. Programs run throughout the year and the duration of the internship is decided in consultation with the intern’s schedule and the company’s requirement. The internships are offered as both half or full day placements in various industries. Although these placements are available all year round, students should ideally apply one month in advance. Students have the option to combine internships with morning Mandarin classes that are offered by experienced teachers of our partner university from Monday to Thursday.Kunming, a cosmopolitan city of three million, is an ideal place to understand China. For an overall understanding of contemporary China and its gradual transformation into a major global economic force, students should not only limit their visits to its fast-paced metropolises, like Beijing or Shanghai. While these cities are undoubtedly business and economic centers in China, they are not representative of the country as a whole and are not the best places to learn about the vast Chinese mass market. To understand China, students should also visit China's interior, its heartland in Central and Western China, where most Chinese people live but where relatively fewer foreigners visit. That is primarily why students participating in our internship programs will be based in Yunnan Province in central China. Due to its great geographic location, Kunming is China's trading window with Southeast Asian countries and is an ideal city for business and cultural immersion.
We have internship opportunities in various sectors ranging from hospitality (hotels), international trade (import-export companies), museums (working as bilingual guide) to tourism (developing marketing materials for foreign markets), and education (working in the administrative offices of a school, not only teaching).
