'Next Step Connections made my trip to China a truly memorable experience. I came to China with no knowledge of Mandarin but was able to thoroughly enjoy my internship because Next Step Connections took the time to make the transition a smooth one. Next Step Connections eliminated many of the transitional hassles by providing airport pick-up, escorting us to work our first day, introducing us to trendy hangouts, and being available for any problems. Moreover, the accommodations provided were first class and located in the heart of Shanghai.
I would strongly recommend Next Step Connections for anyone looking to broaden their horizons through an internship in Shanghai. Next Step Connections allowed me to focus on learning the culture, meeting new people, and gaining a better sense of a very different part of the world and for that I’m truly thankful'B. Mc Rae, Elon School of Law, USA, June 2008, Law internship program
"I had never been to China before last summer so I wanted to find an organization that would help me with all legal and practical aspects of my project. Someone in my school told me about Next Step Connections and the service provided was exactly what I was looking for. Noz I can't wait to come to China next year". M. Lisoir, ISEG Nantes, France, 2008
