In China, IAESTE operates under the auspices of the Council of International Training and Development (CITD), which is commonly referred to as IAESTE China. The organization focuses on building cultural relations and expanding educational opportunities by enabling trainees to engage in international placements while providing hosting opportunities for students and professionals alike.

The emphasis is on structured, paid internships that align with participants’ academic or professional trajectories, thereby supporting skill development and cross-cultural experience.
As part of a broader global community, IAESTE China connects universities, employers, and students to facilitate placement opportunities that can enrich participants’ career prospects and intercultural competence. While the available information highlights the organizational structure and mission related to cultural relations and educational opportunities, the specific internship programs, eligibility criteria, application processes, and placement details typically vary by country and host institution. Prospective participants and partner institutions are encouraged to engage with IAESTE China through official channels to obtain up-to-date information on available programs, timelines, and requirements.
Overall, IAESTE China contributes to the international mobility of trainees by providing a platform that supports reciprocal exchanges, cross-cultural dialogue, and the sharing of knowledge across borders, with a focus on enriching both sending and hosting communities through meaningful internship experiences.
