We are dedicated to help you get an invaluable internship experience that will both place you ahead of future competitors, and give you a working knowledge of China. We help you to take your first professional step into the fast-paced Asian markets. We want you to increase your skills and broaden your mind.
-Invaluable experience in China, and in your chosen field...
The Quality of our internship placements; We have partnered with high-profile local and international companies resulting in internship entries available to our participants all-year round. We believe an internship in China can only be a success if both parties are able to benefit from each other. For this reason, we ensure that our participants participate actively in the day to day operation of their host company.
"Each of the team members from Next Step Connections were very helpful, kind and attentive to all of the GIM participants, including myself. Not only were all of our needs met, but also in a timely fashion."
