Go Abroad China Ltd.

I joined the GAC Gap Year program hoping to make my year off productive, and it ended up exceeding all expectations. The Chinese language classes were intense but super rewarding — I went from barely knowing anything to having real conversations with locals. My internship placement in an international marketing firm gave me hands-on experience and boosted my resume. What made it special was the balance: mornings in class, afternoons at the office, evenings exploring Beijing with new friends. I came back home more independent, culturally aware, and with a clearer career path. Highly recommended if you're serious about making your gap year count.

Doing an internship in China was more than just work experience — it was a turning point for me. I was matched with a tech startup in Beijing and got to work on real projects that actually mattered. I wasn’t just making coffee or shadowing someone — I was part of the team. The cultural activities, weekend trips, and language exposure made it even more valuable. It’s one thing to learn about China, but it’s something else entirely to live and work there. I came back more confident, with international experience I can put on my resume — and a lot of great stories too.
