Griffith Asia Business Internship
Global internships offer high-achieving students nearing completion of their degree the opportunity to increase employability by gaining practical exposure to a professional environment in an international setting.
As a work-integrated learning (WIL) strategy, global internships enable students to complete an industry-related project or series of tasks on a full-time, short-term (6-week) basis and are unpaid.
Destinations include China, Fiji, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea and Malaysia.

Immersing myself in another culture through a global internship with Griffith gave me a greater understanding of Chinese business practices and about myself, both of which will be extremely helpful in my career. Having that understanding from working within the culture will definitely help me network in the future.
