Work in China: start your career at top hotels
China doesn’t have to be a mystery. And no — you don’t need to speak a word of Chinese to build a real career there.
The International Exchange Center’s Work in China program places you in 4- and 5-star hotels across the country, where you’ll gain hands-on international experience in one of the world’s fastest-growing hospitality industries. With placements in cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Sanya, as well as on the tropical island of Hainan — dubbed “China’s Hawaii” — you’ll work where the world travels.
Sponsor hotels include globally recognized brands as well as independent upscale resorts.
You’ll typically work in Front Office or Food & Beverage, around 40 hours per week.
Why join this program?
Build international experience — work inside globally recognized hotel brands and develop skills that open doors worldwide.
Grow professionally — train across 4–5 hotels and learn from industry leaders in one of the most competitive hospitality markets on earth.
Improve your English — an English-speaking work environment means daily practice with guests and colleagues from around the world.
Discover a remarkable culture — live and work in a country where ancient traditions meet breathtaking innovation.

Trip reviews
These months of living and working in the United States have impressed me deeply. I live in a beautiful little house, and I can always go out to interact with the deer and squirrels on the road, an experience I have never had. The natural environment of the town I work is beautiful, there is no pollution, the weather is very blue, the air is too fresh!
