Internship in China: Business, Consulting & Trading

I joined the program as a final-year business student from Zagreb, eager to gain international experience before graduating. GAC placed me with a consulting company in Shanghai, where I assisted with market research, competitor analysis, and client presentation preparation. My mentor was patient and always willing to explain how business relationships work in China, which was completely new to me. The team arranged my visa, comfortable accommodation, and even helped me navigate the metro system during my first week. I returned home with practical skills, a global mindset, and a much clearer idea of the career I want to pursue. I would recommend this to anyone serious about working internationally.

I joined GAC's internship program as a business graduate from Canada. They placed me with a consulting firm in Shanghai where I worked on live projects with real clients. My mentor taught me how Chinese business culture works — completely different from back home. The team handled my visa, apartment, and even helped me open a bank account. Three months later, I had a job offer waiting for me. Worth every penny.

one of the most rewarding experiences of my entire life because of how it was structured by Go Abroad China's team. i applied from here on profile of them after searching longer and seeing many other program providers too and within a short amount of time i received reply and had interview with them and so the host company. airport pick up and visa support really helped me as a stranger to settle in a place that I have never been to it in my life. we had Chinese classes and weekend tours with other colleagues of host company.

Applying through GAC was my only option as I had been applying to so many internship roles in the US, but was unsuccessful, as I had no experience in my field. It really was a simple process giving my requirements to Go Abroad China and they were able to find me a company. A few misunderstandings encountered but nothing too hectic. I was able to arrive in China, start my internship and now Im back home reminiscing the 4 months I spent in China. Id do it again.

I got to intern at an architecture firm in Shanghai. I got the idea that is was actually a well established firm, although I only got to work in one section. I joined a team of people who were doing some project design and research and was assigned a guide for the first few weeks. They worked with all the latest models, but there was never a shortage of tasks to do. To me it felt very professional, and they were great enough to give me a small salary; lunch was provided at the company canteen. I gained something from my internship and I'm sure it will help me once I finish my course and start looking for companies to get into.
