China, as one of the largest and fastest growing economies in the world, is a playground for international business. There are exciting opportunities to intern for major corporations and start-up companies. Globalization has led to a change in the way we do business, and you can gain firsthand experience by working for an international company while living overseas. Opportunities are available in a wide range of business divisions from sales and business development to management or import and export.

Chinese companies have to know how to market to vastly different target audiences. The cultural difference between Eastern and Western societies is massive, requiring the need for multi-faceted marketing campaigns that can successfully target these vastly different audiences. The Marketing sector in China is growing fast and has a high demand for professional, creative thinking individuals to help them create new campaigns that can break through the noise and deliver results.
