Asia’s development over the last decades has been impressive by any standard. A vast, new middle class is emerging all over the region that enjoys higher standards of living and better public services. In addition, Asia is increasingly an innovation driver where new ideas, technology and companies are created. This is a major shift and represents a huge opportunity not only for business but also f
or science or global governance. Nowadays, most organizations acknowledge that this is a megatrend and count therefore with Asia in their long term planning. At Rudi goes Asia, we strongly believe this development requires a better support in order to connect Europe better with Asia. With our activities we want to facilitate the exchange and foster mutual understanding. Graduates with an international mindset and looking for a career at globally operating organizations will increasingly need on the spot experience in Asia and the necessary intercultural skills. Many, however, wonder how to gain such experience and see numerous difficulties to go to Asia. As a result, a lot of them may decide to do something else. Rudi goes Asia can ease this pain and make it simple for these students and young graduates to make the step to Asia and help them gain meaningful experience through high-quality internships. We strongly believe that such an experience is not only a great chance to grow personally but it will also make the students and graduate’s profile interesting for many employers.
