Build a truly unique resume and experience life in one of the world’s fastest growing economies: intern in China with World Endeavors!  International interns in China not only gain experience in their professional fields, they also gain valuable insight into Chinese culture and business practices.  World Endeavors offers professional internship placements in both Beijing and Shanghai, giving our interns the flexibility to choose the location that is right for them.

Internships in Beijing
Full of history both ancient and modern, Beijing offers interns a glimpse into China’s rich and tumultuous past.  Bicycles mix with luxury cars on the city’s broad avenues, tourists mingle with old-timers in the city’s many parks, and international restaurant chains sit next to centuries-old noodle shops in this city of contrasts.  

Internships in Shanghai
Shanghai, perched on the shores of the Huangpu River, is by some accounts home to almost a quarter of the world’s construction cranes.  New buildings seemingly pop up overnight, and the residents of this youthful, outward-looking city welcome visitors from around the world.  

The World Endeavors Internship Guarantee
When you are accepted into the World Endeavors internship program, that is our guarantee that we can find you an internship in your chosen field.  You will work with a World Endeavors internship placement staff member who will get to know you, your academic background, work experience, special skills, and professional goals.  We will then work to find an internship placement that is a good match for both you and the host organization.

Upon arrival in China, interns are met at the airport and taken to their accommodations. They will receive an orientation that will acquaint them with the culture, the program, and the surrounding area.

Once the placement begins, participants will receive an additional mini-orientation at their internship site focusing on opportunities and responsibilities.
