This is a question that all applicants should ask themselves. We offer an internship duration ranging from 1-6 months. Applicants who intern for 3 months of longer tend to get the most out of their experience. The ‘All-Inclusive Package’ is best for applicants with minimal exposure to China. It is also the best choice for applicants looking for structure and support during their transition into China. The ‘Only Internship Placement’ option is the bare-bones package.
