Business Interns in Mongolia

Business intern in Mongolia An internship in the business sector could involve you working with a director or general manager of a small or medium sized company, often handling cross-border contracts with Russian and Chinese clients. Hotels, publishers and various other industries are also happy to host interns.

Throughout your internship, interns are expected to be punctual and professional and required to work normal office hours. When you arrive at work on your first day, you will be assigned a supervisor who will be able to advise and support you during your internship. Of course Projects Abroad staff are always on hand too in case you have any questions.

The work you do will depend on the internship, but be prepared for a challenge! You will get involved with the day-to-day activities around the office whether they are contacting different clients, working with business support teams, researching for current or future projects, putting together portfolios, attending meetings or working on set briefs.

For your colleagues, exposure to an English language speaker is highly valuable and will enable them to advance their own language skills.Your fellow staff members will often have good levels of English but will be eager to learn more! You might find yourself teaching a few informal bits of English at times or proofreading texts -- you will probably find yourself receiving dinner invitations too!

Whichever business internship you're working at, your input will be greatly encouraged and appreciated. Take the opportunity to make your own suggestions, explain about how things work back home or learn some of the language! Your adaptability and willingness to learn will be greatly appreciated.

“Not only is my placement itself amazing but so are the people I am working with. All Mongolian people are so friendly that I can call my co-workers colleagues and also my best friends. Mongolian people are very hospitable and it is normal that just after you meet someone new, you will be called their friend and that you will be invited to their home for dinner!”Valerie van den Brule - Business Project intern in Mongolia
