IT/ Technology and IT internships

Next Step Connections internship program provides students and young professionals with guaranteed tailor-made IT internships.

NSC works with the best IT and high technology companies in Asia.

Technology jobs are among the highest paying, fastest growing and most stable in the nation.

Workers in the so-called STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) occupations earn 26 percent more than workers in other fields. That may be especially welcoming news for IT professionals, since almost half (46 percent) of STEM jobs are in computers and math.

Learn how to design and implement structures, machines, devices, systems, and processes. We offer internships as analysts, developers, electronic, or computer science programmers, and web designers in a wide range of companies: automotive engineering, mobile phones, semi-conductors, online gaming, wireless telecommunication, video and imaging, security, automation control, medical, transportation, aviation, aerospace, and environment monitoring. We also offer research placements in the biotechnology and clean-technology sectors, as well as placement under the guidance of the former Thompson Multimedia vice-President Asia.

Example of IT internships in China (Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong)

The technology sector is one of China’s flourishing and most exciting industries, with The Ministry of Science and Technology investing 11 billion Yuan (US$1.32 billion) to stimulate the country's high technology and agricultural development.

In addition, China is also positioning itself as the leader in environmentally friendly technology. They will soon announce plans to match the European Union’s ambitious target by raising the proportion of renewable in the country’s energy mix to a certain percentage by 2020.

We offer various placements at IBM, Microsoft, Pacovision, QTCT.

Example of tasks and responsibilities

As an example, a past program participant worked at a small and young Shanghai start-up. The start-up offers an exclusive online community platform and services to members of recreational, educational, and networking clubs. The start-up combines face recognition technologies with the natural human capacity to recognize faces as underlying dynamic in its social network, providing a fun and intriguing way for members to meet new and familiar faces in real life, whilst strengthening club communities.

Another alumni worked at QTCT, a leading provider of managed video/audio conferencing and telecom solutions in China. Since our establishment in 2004, QTCT has developed and expanded their capabilities through our ChanceTone TM and Telcoserve suite of services. Our objective is to differentiate ourselves by offering a personalized consultative approach that offers their clients the best possible communication solution, via needs assessment.
