“In an interconnected and borderless world where information moves with a speed never seen before, the long-term competitive edge belongs to those individuals harboring special attributes in their professional vitae. Keeping these words in mind, I embarked on an exciting journey to the financial capital of China – Shanghai.

Working in the medical sector as an advisor to the board on matters relating to international marketing and business development, I was able to hone in on the skills that I had learnt at university and apply them to real-life situations in an environment that was mentally stimulating. At the end of my internship in Shanghai, I was offered employment back home in New Zealand owing, in great part, to the wealth of experience I had gained in a culturally distinct environment in a matter of two months.”

This is a testimonial from Utsav Sharma, a genetics student from …

“James Critelli knew only five words of Mandarin, but he didn’t let that stop him from applying last year for a summer internship in China, a country that’s fascinated him since he accompanied his father there on a business trip as a child.

Critelli, now a junior at Cornell University’s Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management, No. 3 in Bloomberg Businessweek’s latest ranking of the nation’s best undergraduate business programs, was placed last summer with an investment bank and energy think tank in Shanghai through CRCC Asia, a company that specializes in placing college students and recent graduates with internships in China. For Critelli, the experience was well worth the nearly $4,000 price tag the company charged for the two-month experience.

“I now have a perspective on China that people who haven’t been to the country would never be able to get,” said Critelli, 21, an applied economics and …
