German Internship Program

The German Internship Program is an initiative jointly launched by China and Germany, aiming to strengthen bilateral relations, especially people-to-people exchanges, cooperation, and friendship, by promoting international internships for young people from both countries. We serve companies that are recruiting German interns through this project, while also helping German interns who wish to intern in China find suitable positions.
