Our Business placements in Shanghai will give your CV a major boost and certainly make you stand out from the crowd. Some of our strongest placements are in Marketing, Sales, Human Resources, Communication/PR Consulting, Financial Consulting, Event Organising and Business Development but we can often organise placements in other areas on request. The experience you will gain and contacts you'll make will certainly help to increase your chances of gaining permanent employment.
From summer 2009, Business volunteers in China can choose whether to volunteer in Shanghai or our new destination, Hangzhou. Hangzhou is an industrial city with many diverse sectors such as in light industry, agriculture and textiles and is also considered an important manufacturing base and logistics hub for coastal China. Hangzhou is also becoming a major tourist destination and is famous for its beautiful scenery. If we are to believe the words of a famous Chinese saying, "Above is Heaven, below is Hangzhou", who can blame us for opening up our new destination in China's 'heaven on earth'?
