Make the right move – choose an international internship

Since CRCC Asia launched an internship program in 2006 we’ve seen our applicant numbers steadily rise, as students and graduates have realised that, in a highly competitive employment market, they really need to differentiate themselves from the competition. Its widely recognized that internships can add great value to your CV as evidence that you’ve consolidated your academic background with real industry knowledge, but in our experience (and in the experience of our interns) it’s about much more than getting a edge in your future career. An internship abroad can be one of the smartest choices you’ll ever make, especially if you know exactly what you’re looking for…

What makes a great international internship?

There are many definitions of ‘internship’, and many more of ‘international internship’, but in our view an internship should fulfil the following criteria – every one of which we guarantee at CRCC Asia:

• Provide an opportunity to integrate career experience with social opportunities
• Provide the opportunity to live and work in a dynamic new environment
• Provide challenging, diverse placements in a wide range of sectors
• Be expertly planned and scheduled to ensure the best value and greatest benefit
• Include in-country training to enable each intern to fully understand their role and opportunities  
• Provide a balance of social, cultural and professional opportunities

What will you gain from an international internship?

Time and time again, our interns tell us that they’ve gained far more from their time in China than a CV boost – here is a selection of the additional benefits of an international internship:

• By choosing to intern abroad you’ll demonstrate ambition, flexibility and the ability to adapt to new environments quickly – all crucial skills for your future career.
• Living and working in a foreign country will broaden your perspectives: you’ll have the opportunity to learn the language, try the cuisine and generally immerse yourself in the culture every single day.
• Interning abroad proves you’re able to work in a cross-cultural team – a valuable asset for future employers – and your communication skills and confidence will vastly improve.
• More specifically, if you intern in China you’ll be proving your ability to flourish in a highly competitive, fast moving professional environment, in one of the most fascinating countries in the world.
• You’ll not only encounter new professional opportunities and challenges, but social ones too. During your time abroad you’ll form close relationships with your fellow interns and colleagues.

If you’re already sold on the many benefits of gaining work experience abroad, apply today for a CRCC internship and join us in Beijing. We guarantee that it’s a smart move, but don’t take it from us - read more about the experiences of our previous interns in our testimonials section, or check out more expert views on the benefits of interning abroad (and specifically in China), by browsing through recent press coverage.
