Implementation Plan for International Students’ Study and Internship Program

The project is aimed at outstanding college students over 18 years old around the world, integrating three major features of business Chinese teaching, Lingnan cultural experience and enterprise visits, including traditional cultural courses such as Paper Cuttings, martial arts, and Chinese clothing, as well as field visits to leading enterprises such as GAC Group and Guangzhou Port. Students will experience the charm of Guangzhou as a "thousand year commercial capital" in depth through activities such as the Pearl River Night Tour and Yongqingfang Visit. After graduation, international students will be awarded a bilingual certificate in both Chinese and English, which will help them quickly improve their Chinese language skills and expand their understanding of China's economy and culture.

Summer Work and Travel Program

The Summer Work & Travel USA Program is founded on the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948, which laid the groundwork for U.S. exchange visitor programs. Before being introduced to mainland China, the program had already operated successfully for over 60 years in Europe, the Americas, and various Asian countries and regions. Each year, approximately 150,000 students worldwide participate in this program, using their summer vacation to work at U.S. companies under a J-1 visa for a three-month cultural exchange and practical training period, followed by up to one month of travel. Participants gain first-hand experience of American society, culture, and customs while improving their English and expanding their global perspective. A unique feature of this program is that it allows college students from around the world to work side-by-side with American peers and other international participants. All students are legally employed, receive the same wages as their American coworkers, and are covered by medical and accident insurance. Supervised by the U.S. government, the program not only enhances students’ professional and language skills but also helps reduce the financial burden of experiencing life in the United States.

Intern/Trainee Program USA

The Trainee category is governed by regulations in [22 CFR 62.22]. This program helps exchange visitors improve their professional skills through structured training in the U.S., focusing on American methods and expertise. Training must not repeat previous experience. The program cannot be used for regular employment, and trainees cannot replace regular employees. Recent rule updates removed the “specialty” and “non-specialty” occupation distinction, created a new internship program, and updated participation criteria. Sponsors must vet and sign agreements with any third parties helping with recruitment and training. A completed Form DS-7002 (Training/Internship Placement Plan) is required before issuing Form DS-2019. Flight training rules remain unchanged.

Cultural Exchange & Homestay

Cultural Exchange & Homestay is a program designed to support international talent development and practical education in Chinese universities. It integrates overseas training for young teachers and international social practice for college and university students. A typical program involves one teacher leading a group of 12–16 students to form a research team and conduct a 14-day social study in the United States.

Volunteer Homestay Program

The International Volunteer Internship Program, also known as the Volunteer Homestay Program, offers university students the opportunity to work as international volunteers at non-profit organizations or companies abroad. Over a period of 4 to 12 weeks, participants join local staff and international peers in workplace learning and hands-on programs.
Outside of work, students can travel locally, visit universities, and experience authentic cultural life. Accommodation is provided in host families or shared apartments.
This program helps students:
Enhance cross-cultural communication and interpersonal skills
Develop global awareness and a spirit of social responsibility
Improve English and professional workplace abilities
Gain valuable overseas experience and insight into industry operations and advanced management models

Internship Program in Japan

Internship Program in Japan for university Students in Japan is an educational and cultural exchange program approved by the Japanese Ministry of Justice to recruit interns from companies outside of Japan. Since 2008, local Japanese companies have been recruiting students majoring in Japanese from Chinese universities for a period of three months. The program has been launched in other countries and regions of the world before entering China, and the program is aligned with the talent training program and internship practice of Chinese university students. At the end of the program, students will receive a certificate of excellence from the internship company. The program not only allows students to experience the management model of Japanese companies, understand Japanese culture, improve their language skills, and broaden their international perspective, but also provides a solid foundation for students who wish to study or work in Japan in the future.

Specified Skilled Worker Program for Employment in Japan

Data shows that Japan's elderly population has reached a new high of 36.25 million, accounting for approximately 29.3% of its total population, ranking first in the world in terms of aging. Japan faces a huge shortage of elderly care professionals; the program shortfall is 250,000 in 2026 and over 600,000 in 2030-2040. Japan is addressing this by recruiting overseas workers and offering them the same pay as Japanese workers. China's aging situation is even more severe, and its elderly care industry is receiving increased attention. At the recently concluded APEC meeting, President Xi and the Japanese Prime Minister held talks on trade, green development, and healthcare and elderly care. As the first Asian country to enter an aging society, Japan is a leader in elderly care technologies, management, and legislation, and its cultural background is similar to China's, making it a valuable source of reference. Against this backdrop, the Specific Skills program for employment in Japan, launched in 2018, has recruited 3,000 people from 13 countries, and has attracted a large number of Chinese professionals to go to Japan for training and obtain professional certificates for employment.

Short-term Study Program

Short-term Study in Hong Kong and Macau is a program in which school teachers and students form a group and use the winter and summer vacations to go to famous universities in Hong Kong and Macao for a 7-14 day study and research activity. During the program, students will participate in thematic courses taught by senior professors in famous universities in Hong Kong and Macao, and visit higher education institutions, well-known companies, humanities institutions, and historical landscapes in Hong Kong and Macao. After the program, students will receive official certificates issued by famous universities in Hong Kong and Macao,and some institutions will also issue professors’ recommendation letters, transcripts, and certificates of study hours. Students who perform well during visits to famous companies will receive letters of recommendation from company executives. This program can not only increase students' knowledge and broaden their horizons, but also become a valuable experience for students to further their studies or future careers.
