Minds Abroad’s internship program offers participants a unique
opportunity to combine academics, travel and work experience in China
while earning university credit. In addition to being given the
opportunity to put into practice what they have learned in school,
participants will also gain valuable experience and insight into the
real world workings of business operations in China. Through our
contacts in Kunming, we can arrange internships at companies and
organizations in a wide variety of sectors including, but not limited
to: Finance, Education (primarily teaching English), NGOs, Media,
Tourism, Pharmaceuticals and Medicine, Marketing and Distribution, and
Architecture.
Minds Abroad has two options for our internship program. The first
option is to intern 20 hours and take a 4 hour seminar on Economy
and Society in Contemporary China each week with social science
faculty of our partner institution, Yunnan Nationalities University
(YNU). For each week of this program, one credit will be rewarded
to you by YNU. The second option is just the internship and awards
one credit every two weeks. Students should check with their
universities to make sure this program is approved.
If you
are interested in getting placed in an internship by Minds Abroad, please give us
one to two months notice so that we have time to make
arrangements for you. Please email us for more information about
our internship program.
NOTE: While most of our internships (with the exception of teaching)
will be unpaid, some will provide you with a stipend or other form
of compensation.
