Located in southwest China, Chongqing is the region’s largest municipality and one of its fastest developing. Rapid economic growth has given rise to a thriving business district, populated with a multitude of exciting companies, not only drawing an ever-increasing number of career-minded young Chinese, but also those from abroad.
But skyscrapers and hustle and bustle are far from all Chongqing has to offer; known in the Middle Kingdom as ‘Mountain City’, it is balanced on extremely hilly land and boasts a wealth of natural resources and wildlife. Such an impressive preservation of nature within one of China’s largest cities has not only made Chongqing a popular tourist destination, but also the ideal place for adventure-seeking young professionals to gain professional experience.
We work with a wide network of companies in Chongqing representing over 20 different sectors. These range from local businesses and international corporations to SMEs and governmental institutions. Whether you're looking to work in international business, import/export, architecture, law, finance, real estate, event management, tourism or IT, we can help. Simply submit your application, and we will match you with several internship positions based on your preferences that you can choose from.
In addition to your internship placement, we provide various other services to further enrich your experience:
