No problem. Many of our interns are Gap-year Students, college students or recent grads, with no working experience – so that’s why they’re here! We will find a placement for you with a English-speaking supervisor that will provide you with the tools you’ll need to succeed in your internship and give you quality experience to improve your CV! All we ask is for participants to have a motivated attitude and desire to learn and succeed in their field! If you do have skills like knowledge of language, computers, or even summer jobs, please include that in your application.
Participants should be at least 18 years old by the time of their arrival in China.
