Free to apply and fully paid once you arrive. Spend six months training at the world's leading hotel brands in China, IHG, Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt, Accor and Shangri-La, with your accommodation, meals, monthly stipend and support all taken care of.
The whole program is funded by China's hotel industry, so applying and taking part costs you nothing. No tuition, no placement fees, no catch.
Six months of new friendships, a new language and a culture you will never forget. Most trainees come home saying it changed their life, not just their CV.
You train inside the biggest names in hospitality, IHG, Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt, Accor and Shangri-La, learning from the teams that set the global standard.
Every traineeship opens with two weeks of study at Shanghai Normal University, fully included in the program. You get a crash course in Mandarin, an introduction to Chinese culture and hospitality standards, and honest, practical advice for living and working in China.
It is also where you meet the other trainees, explore Shanghai and find your feet before the paid hotel internship starts. There are no exams and no pressure to be fluent, just the confidence to feel at home in a brand new country.
Once your two weeks of study in Shanghai are done, you move into your host hotel and your paid traineeship begins. We place you only with the most prestigious brands in China: IHG, Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt, Accor and Shangri-La.
You work in departments like Front Office and Food & Beverage, with every placement matched to your background, interests and goals. You learn on the floor, next to experienced professionals, and see exactly how world-class hospitality runs every day.
From the moment you're accepted to the day you fly home, we've got you covered.
Every partner is known for world-class service, and each one is committed to guiding our trainees and supporting their growth.
Gain real experience, build a global network and grow in one of the world's most exciting countries. Applying is completely free, so take the next step today.
