Foreigners and locals alike are taking advantage of China’s and India's burgeoning economy, bringing into the table new business concepts and ideas. There is no arguing that China or India are the most important places when it comes to today’s business world. However, for those lacking the experience in those markets, a business internship will give you a deeper understanding about the customs and processes is duly required.

Participating in a business Internship typically involves working on different business areas such as business development, consulting, sales, human resources, sourcing, trading, export and supply chain management.

Next Stepper testimonial

"Chia Tai Group was a great place to do an internship as you only report to the MD who is a fantastic guy and will make sure you get the most out of your time in Shanghai- He will have a proper project for you to do and your work has a great chance of being implemented. I got to go out and meet clients and build relationships with them on my own." Ben,United Kingdom, 2010
