We're a small placement office. We find internships for university students and young adults at companies we know in Hong Kong, Singapore, Shanghai and Bangkok. You live there for a season and come home with something to show for it.

Give us the broad strokes. The brief drafts itself as you answer, so you can see what kind of work and city you'd be looking at before you commit to anything.
What you've done so far and what you want to do next. If you've filled in the brief above, we start from that.
We go through the companies we know and introduce you to one that has a real piece of work for you. You meet them before anything is confirmed.
We help with the visa and with housing. Your offer sets out what's arranged and what's left to you before you commit.
We help you settle in during the first week, and we stay reachable for the whole placement.
The same field looks different in each city. If you don't have a preference, say so and we'll suggest one on the call.
Banks, trading companies and the regional head offices of a lot of multinationals. English works in any office. Dense, expensive, and easy to get around.
Regional headquarters, family offices and a large startup scene. English is the working language. The easiest of the four to arrive in if you're new to the region.
China's business capital: consumer brands, manufacturing, domestic finance. Some Mandarin helps day to day. It isn't required for the placements we make.
Family-owned groups, boutique firms and a growing startup scene. Cheaper to live in than the other three. Teams are smaller, so an intern sees more of the business.
A placement is for one student, and we introduce the students in each city to each other.
We introduce the students going to the same city in the same season to each other before anyone leaves.
For the practical questions and social ones during your placement.
When your placement ends you go on the alumni list. This becomes the professional network you share with everyone who came before and after you.
We place a small number of students with companies that can give one of them a real piece of work for four to sixteen weeks. We do the screening before you see a name, draft the visa letter for your signature, sort the student's housing, and stay their point of contact throughout.
What we need from you is a defined piece of work and someone to supervise it. Placements are unpaid and there's no charge to you; the student pays our fee. Terms are agreed in writing before any introduction is made.
There's nothing to browse. We find a seat for you after we've talked, from companies we already know.
They're on the fees page by city and length. The number on your offer is what you pay. Refund windows are in the terms.
Placements are unpaid, and most hosts are companies you won't have heard of. What we can promise is an introduction to a company we know, the paperwork done, and a person you can call.
