Internship in China : Business Internship
 This is a great international internship opportunity for business students interested in gaining actual, real world experience while simultaneously studying international business issues. Due to extensive requests in Chinese internship programs, we are now able to accommodate a larger number of applicants (from Europe, North America, Great Britain and Australia ) via IFRE's China branch office located in Qingdao City , Shandong Province. IFRE provides a meaningful, worthwhile international business internship - offering personal, one-on-one assistance from the moment interns arrive at the Qingdao airport throughout the entire duration of the internship.

Internship in China : Internship Project and Role of Supervisor
One of the most distinguished features of IFRE's internships in China is the guidance of supervisors. Whichever projects you choose, IFRE will assign a qualified supervisor to provide assistance for all interns throughout the duration of their chosen internship. Individuals filling the role of supervisor are usually either the director or chosen staff member of the project which interns choose. During your time as an international intern, you will be assigned a number of duties which volunteers also perform (in this sense, there are very few differences between IFRE's volunteers and interns). Wherein exists the differences between interning and volunteering is that the internship allows individuals to become more deeply involved in their chosen project (i.e. individuals in this particular project can focus on economics, business ethics, marketing, etc.). Please note: the project supervisor DOES NOT develop internships as this is up to the intern to get as much or as little out of their projects. ALL participants should be proactive to ensure the ultimate success of their internships. Supervisors will provide at least five (5) hours each week to make certain that interns are  adequately guided.
ROOM/FOOD
IFRE provides accommodation near our China Branch Office in Qingdao . These accommodations are usually either set up in a regional apartment, hostel or nearby hotel. Both living accommodations and meals (three meals/day consisting of local, Chinese fare) are covered by IFRE for the duration of the internship.

- A welcome reception where interns are introduced to fellow participants and international interns who are currently interning in Qingdao .
- Orientation upon arrival (usually the second day after arrival) - consisting of a tour of IFRE's local offices, supermarkets, post office, hospital, dining establishments, internet cafés, rail/bus station, bookstores, various department stores - all in an effort to familiarize interns with their new surroundings. Additionally, our local staff will help set up an account in a local, Chinese bank so that interns can access funds from their original banks.
