Internship Opportunity in China

Are you interested in gaining experience in the fastest growing economy in the world?
 Experience Chinese business and office culture.
 Experience daily life living in China.
 Learn about the investment casting industry and manufacturing process.

I: Company

Amos Qingdao Hainel is an professional investment casting company and metal foundry in Qingdao, China. The factory has over 500 employees and specializes in producing parts and components using stainless steel, aluminum, and copper alloys. 98% of our customers are from the European Union and the United States. We supply many large manufacturers with metal parts such as pump parts, valves, couplings, automobile parts, food machinery parts, architectural hardware, marine parts and sporting equipment.

II. Program Introduction

We are offering a 12 week paid internship (2,000 RMB every 4 weeks) where you will work at our sales office in Qingdao’s Economic & Technological Development Area. In the office you will learn about international trade, custom requirements, the Chinese office environment, and Chinese business culture. You will also have ample opportunities to visit and study our production line at our factory in Qingdao’s Jiaonan district. Here, you will see first hand how many of the products you buy are made and you will gain great insight into the investment casting industry. We frequently have foreign customers visit our factory to discuss business opportunities. You will have the opportunity to sit in on these meetings and learn how a Chinese business meeting is conducted.

Unlike many other internship opportunities in China, we are not an agency. You will be working with us in the office and because we are a manufacturer, you will also have the unique opportunity to visit and study at a large manufacturing facility. Access to the factory will make your office work that much more rewarding because when you describe the process to potential customers, or relay communications from the engineers to the customers, you are not regurgitating memorized marketing material. You will be able to recall what you saw in the factory and which piece of equipment has what type of capabilities. This will make the learning process easier and more enjoyable.

You will be required to work Monday to Friday from 8am to 5:30pm with 1.5hr break for lunch. If a foreign customer is visiting our factory, a business meeting may run late or include a business dinner but on average, you can plan on leaving the office at 5:30. Office dress in China is less formal than in the west. Our office dress code is casual。Jeans and a collared shirt for the boys is perfectly acceptable, girls can also wear jeans and comfortable, business appropriate clothing. Clothes dryers are rare in China so it is recommended you bring clothes that can be easily hung dry. Dry cleaning service is available but the prices are relatively higher than in the west. If you will be visiting the factory, please dress appropriately. Safety is paramount at the manufacturing facility. The factory includes a metal foundry so comfortable shoes and appropriate dress for the climate is required.
III. Daily Life and Housing

For some, daily life in China can take some getting used to. In this program, because you will be working with other interns and with our English speaking staff, we will be able to give you the guidance and support you need to make your time in China comfortable and enjoyable. Other internship programs in China, simply partner interns with local companies and that is where their service ends. Many times an intern will discover their job responsibility is simply to chat on Alibaba all day. In this program, you will learn to read a technical drawing, how to make production quotations, and how to explain the investment casting process clearly and intelligently to prospective customers. Perhaps most importantly, you will learn Chinese business culture including the numerous customs and traditions that are required when doing business in China. You will learn this by observing and experiencing it first-hand in real business situations.

You and other interns in the program will reside in a 314 sq. meter (3,379 sq. feet) 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom furnished apartment in a high rise apartment complex. All of the utilities are included in your program fee. You do not need to worry about dealing with the utility companies. We will manage all of these services for you. The apartment is in the new and modern Qingdao Economic & Technological Develop District. The apartment is within walking distance to many restaurants, a gym, bars, and large shopping centers. The large shopping center Mykal is on the same block as the apartment complex and the Jusco is across the street. Public transportation is very accessible and it is only a ten minute bus ride from the apartment to the office. You can also take a ten minute bus ride to Huangdao’s beautiful Golden Sand Beach and a 30 minute bus ride to downtown Qingdao which also has many beautiful beaches and China’s official Olympic sailing center.

To secure your spot in the program you are required to wire 1000 RMB to our designated bank. Once you arrive, this 1000 RMB will be the deposit on your apartment. It will be returned to you upon completion of the program if the apartment is left undamaged. *Please note: wiring funds to China often requires a wire transfer fee.

Step 5：A week before your scheduled arrival date we will require your initial program payment of 10,000RMB. Since your visa will be sponsored by Amos Qingdao Hainel, we must ask you pay this amount before you arrive. We must do this as a safety precaution so people do not use this sponsored visa to travel around China or conduct other business.

Step 6: Once your passport has the necessary F visa, fly to Qingdao’s airport where an Amos Qingdao Hainel employee will pick you up and provide you with a welcome package including a SIM card for your cell phone with 50RMB worth of prepaid minutes, a map of Qingdao, and contact information to Amos Qingdao Hainel’s employees.

Step 8: Report to the sales office where you will be introduced to your co-workers and your learning experience will begin. The remainder of the 12 week program fee will be due at this time. At the end of every 4 week period, you will receive a salary of 2,000 RMB.
