Internships in Chengdu, China

China’s economy has been growing at an exceedingly fast rate since the governmental reforms of the 1970’s, and today it trails only the United States in GDP. Industrialization, emerging markets, and huge amounts of foreign investment have all made Chengdu one of the very best places to intern in the country. Chengdu hosts more than 250 Fortune 500 Companies, and this number is still growing steadily.

Since it is such a big city, you can intern in pretty much any professional field in Chengdu. Some of the most popular placements are in business, marketing, architecture, and finance because of the many multinational corporations which manage extensive global operations here. These placements are generally built for English speakers, but if you are learning Mandarin also, then there is no better way to accelerate your language acquisition than by interning abroad!

Most internship placements in Chengdu last between two and six months, depending on whether you are still enrolled in school or have recently graduated. Some companies will even offer exceptional interns the opportunity to keep working abroad because there is such a high demand in China. Who knows, maybe interning abroad in Chengdu will be the start of a whole new life as an expatriate!

Internship & Chinese courses experience at XMandarin

I'm Joss, I had the opportunity to come to Qingdao, China to join the XMandarin team as a marketing intern since the beginning of March. As my major is also related to Chinese, I also attend hsk 5 group classes twice a week! Overall I really enjoy my experience here, my colleagues are very kind and helpful and the work atmosphere is very nice. I get to learn many things about marketing and building partnerships with international companies and schools, as well as social media marketing, development, and content production, which I'm sure will come to be very handy for my future career. The classes are nice, our teacher is very kind and she has a great sense of humor, she manages to put us at ease and not be afraid to speak Chinese and make mistakes. Participation is probably the greatest aspect of my class, the teacher always engage with us by asking questions related to our life to practice what has just been learned, and my group only have between 4 to 5 people per class, which is great because it gives us a lot of opportunities to speak and practice our Chinese. Moreover, Qingdao is a beautiful city, the people are always nice and I get many opportunities to engage with locals wherever I go. Also the beach is only 20mn away from the school and I often go there on weekends for sunbathing and having a few drinks :) I also like the events organized by the school as they allow me to discover new places and have fun with the other students. I would definitely come back here with in the future!
