Program Reviews

I recently completed a remote internship which Pagoda Projects have recently stated doing during this year. I thoroughly enjoyed doing this, it was something different but the support from the team was amazing and made the thought of doing a remote internship much easier
the team also did events about networking, quizzes, wellbeing etc and all of these helped me in different ways (academically, career-prospects, mental well-being etc) and found them all influential.
I would recommend this to anyone!

I signed up for a 12-week internship in Zhuhai, China through Internchina beginning in May, 2015. The interview process was great as I got to meet my future boss and learn about the company.

I paid my deposit, signed a contract and was placed all within 3 weeks in February, 2015. There was a bit of a delay with the invitation letter required for the travel visa, but I did receive it in time. There was enough communication throughout the whole process that I felt taken care of.

Upon arriving in China, I was introduced to the office manager Paul Bailey and his staff at the Zhuhai office. They were very friendly and accommodating and the social atmosphere was exactly what you would want in a completely foreign place with no English. There were a few issues with the apartment upon move-in, but they were corrected quickly without hassle.

The amount of flexibility and latitude I had at my placement company is what really set this internship apart. I was given the ability to make decisions, changes, and rearrange things to improve the operations of the business in a meaningful way. I got a wide breadth of hands-on experience and was able to travel with the company to other parts of China to inspect operations there. It was an incredible experience. Internchina constantly provided support and activities to make the experience enjoyable. My girlfriend stayed with me (not as an intern) and they were more than accommodating to her as well.

I had some pretty bad experiences with other internship companies in the past but Internchina was outstanding. I highly recommend an internship placement with them.

Having taken the full monty including an internship in a marketing segment as well as daily Chinese courses with fantastic teachers, and living with an incredibly nice local Chinese family, I had three of the greatest months of my life in Zhuhai!
The support is just as superb as IC claims, with an unbelievably nice and motivated team whom it was always a pleasure to visit and party with. But not only did I greatly benefit from the social life offered in Zhuhai, if you are a little dedicated to actually learn some serious Mandarin there, I can only tell you this: after less than three Months I was able to haggle any price like a local while being constantly asked, why I look so much like a foreigner ;)

I completed two engineering internships in Zhuhai, one in a German company and one in a Chinese company. It was a great expereience to see the difference between these two cultures doing business. Btw Zhuhai is a nice city with an awesome beach and islands around, also beautiful sceneries and big citys like Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Macau are not far away.

InternChina:
I heard many horrible things about internship agencies, but InternChina is not one of these. They offered the whole time - 24 hours a day a great service with many activieties like dinner or trips to nice sceneries on weekend. Also the apartments are nice and clean. I made great friends with people from all over the world.

It was actually the best experience in my life!

I had already found a company for my internship when I contacted Internchina. They helped me to get my visa and provided good advice for accommodation (I decided to find it by myself).

Their offer will suit anyone who wants to get some work experience in China without worrying too much about the paper work and apartment search.

Prices are quite high but I guess if you want to intern in China you don't really have the choice (you basically have to go through agencies like this). At least the team behind it is nice, serious and always available. They also organize all kind of events during the week (dinner, visits, activities...) which is a great.

I cannot give any feedback on the internships they offer since I found mine before I contacted them. The other interns I met never complained though.

I have interned both in Chengdu and in Qingdao, getting to know both cities and making friends from all over the world. Both of which are cities I would happily live in for longer if I could!

Working here has not always been easy, but other the IC staff have been so kind in their support to me and it has given me a fantastic chance to grow professionally.

Not only have I learned a lot about many different aspects of conducting business in China but I have also managed to improve my spoken Chinese.

I have been working at the InternChina office in Qingdao in the Sales and Marketing Department for 3 month now and I´m very happy with the agency´s services. Qingdao is a very nice and modern city, the people are nice and the internship tasks are very useful for my studies. I´m really enjoying my time with InternChina and can recommend this company to everyone who is interested in gaining work and life experience in China.

In 2009 InternChina arranged a home stay with a Chinese family in Qingdao for me. It was the best time in my life, homemade Chinese food and practicing Mandarin Chinese outside the classroom.
I've met plenty of like minded people: other foreign students who were interested in learning about the Chinese culture and Chinese people learning about western culture and introducing their country to us.

The Internchina staff was friendly and very helpful, whenever I had some communication problems with my family they Would explain me more about Chinese culture or jump in for me and talk to them directly. I always felt well taken care of!

After this amazing time, I returned in 2011 and stayed another three years in China! Way to go, InternChina!

I had an Internship in Chengdu and it was an intresting experience dealing with a new unfamiliar language and culture. However, the Chengdu InternChina office was extremely helpful and the social community was a great support. Every Thursday there was an organised evening dinner at amazing resturants and on the weekends there were orgainsed trips and events.

I had the pleasure of learning a new language, adapting to the Chinese culture and most importantly gained amazing friends and professional contacts during my internship in Chengdu. It is an program I would recommend everyone to do!

I did an internship at the IC office in Chengdu for 3 months and then another 2 months internship in another company. I was welcomed into the team really quickly and made great friends that I still keep in touch with now. The staff from the other offices were also really nice, we communicted daily online. The IC staff are all young and highly committed people who take their job seriously, but also know how to have fun. They help you out with any problems and you can always talk to them if you are unhappy with your placement and anything else. In the worst case they will even help you find a new company. As part of the office interns I liked that I was given a lot of freedom to focus on tasks that I like and that I'm good at. I felt this experience was very valuable in finding out about my own strengths and my future path and I am happy I got this chance.
