A Guide to Hospitality Internships in China

Why Intern in China

Without a doubt the rising Chinese economy contributes to great number of foreign companies broadening their operations to China. Such a trend enables a great number of employment positions within multinational companies. The majority of employees at these companies begin as interns, before they are offered actual employment within the company. However, interns that don’t end up working for the company long-term leave the company enriched with wide range of skills and priceless experience, and a CV that will be more attractive to companies in the future.

My gap year was a masterclass in synthesis

December 11, 2025by: Ben Carter - CanadaProgram: GAC Gap Year Learn Chinese & Internship in China Program
10

My gap year was a masterclass in synthesis. The program brilliantly fused the concrete trajectory of a corporate internship in Shenzhen with the organic, unfolding journey of language acquisition. My professional confidence grew in tandem with my ability to navigate a conversation—and a city. GAC provided the crucial infrastructure (visa, housing, a professional network) that empowered true exploration, both in the office and beyond it. This year taught me that the most valuable skills are often found at the intersection of disciplines: the patience learned in a Mandarin class directly informed a complex project at work. It was the most strategic and soulful year of my life.
