When a perspective employer receives your CV, the first thing he usually looks at is your experience. For the majority of young graduates it is really challenging then to get a job without it. The requirement of relevant working experince led many students to seek part-time employment while studying or join companies and organizations for a short time right after graduation on a low-paid or unpaid basis, i.e. to cover an internship. And internship seems to be the right way to start your career as it allows you to obtain practical knowledge about the job you pursue while being an actual worker.

Most of education systems around the world are based on theoretical tutoring while there is little chance to apply your knowledge in practice. However, job market is tending to value practical experience more than any theories. Thus, even a diploma with honours or merit does not guarantee any employment and a good salary. You probably heard more than ones many of those «top five» graduates complaining that no one bothered even to mention their high scores at school during job interviews...

In such circumstances covering internship in a company might become a good launch pad for perspective career. Internship is beneficial for both intern and employer. While for the former internship is the time to get the essentials of the job, learn more about business and company, get acquainted with the staff and build a network, the latter can fully evaluate intern’s knowledge and skills, professionalism, attitude, personal qualities and etc. It is not rare that upon successful completion of an internship an intern is offered full-time employment with a company. In this respect the outcome of an internship vastly depends on an intern - if you enjoy your job and feel that it is «yours», you hold future in your future in your hands. By performing your best, following the company’s rules and regulations, delivering best results on time you show your employer interest in the job. And often employers do value such workers and try to keep them with the company.

However, in a modern globalized world even relevant experience sometimes is not enough. An employer expects you to be well-travelled, culturally conscious, speaking foreign languages, knowing the basics of international business or communications, and so on. It is incredibly hard then for a student to combine studies and job while broadening her own mind at the same time. One of the solutions is to bring all of these things together - do an internship abroad during your summer vacation! It is wrong to believe that internships are only possible for a long term of half a year or more. Specially designed Summer Internship Abroad program from Getin2China company is a great opportunity to spend your free time for the benefit of your future career.

The program suggests 3-month long internship within an international or local Chinese company during summer holidays (June-August). As Getin2China has already established partnership with a lot of companies, both foreign and domestic and operating in various fields including business development, architecture, law, trade, hospitality, IT, engineering, etc, it is able to place all of its participating students for an internship according to their educational background and personal preferences. Internships are carried out on a part-time basis thus allowing time for taking Chinese language course and getting to know the local culture. However, though basic knowledge of Chinese is an advantage when applying for an internship, it is not a requirement. Moreover, students are welcome to join sightseeing tours that are also included in the program. Upon completion of the program the participants are awarded a certificate that proves their level of Chinese and are also given a letter of recommendation from employer proving their acquired working experience.

Getin2China Group Ltd. has been running this program for more than 4 years already and has successfully placed a lot of students from various countries for an internship in China. By now there is a good number of young people who decided to come back to China after graduation or were invited by the host company to work on a full-time basis.
