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.
