Management Graduate loved China

August 27, 2026by: Magda Kowalska - Poland
5

As a management graduate from Poland, I wanted to see how business works in Asia. GAC placed me with a consulting firm in Beijing, where I worked on real market entry strategies for international clients. I was involved in client meetings, data analysis, and presentation preparation. My mentor was incredibly supportive and explained the nuances of Chinese business culture. The team handled my visa, accommodation, and even organized weekend trips to the Great Wall. I returned home with confidence, new skills, and a job offer. Highly recommend!

As a business student from Amsterdam, I wanted to understand how global companies operate in Asia. GAC placed me with a consulting firm in Beijing, where I worked on real strategy projects for international clients. My mentor gave me hands-on exposure to market entry plans and client presentations. The team handled everything — visa, housing, and even helped me set up a local bank account. Three months later, I returned to the Netherlands with practical skills and a clear career direction. Highly recommend this program.

From Malaysia to Beijing — best career move I made

May 14, 2026by: Ibrahim Ahmad - Malaysia

As an economics graduate from Malaysia, I wanted international experience but didn't know where to start. GAC matched me with a consulting firm in Beijing's central business district. Within two weeks, I was helping analyze market entry strategies for Southeast Asian clients. My colleagues were welcoming, and my mentor still checks in on LinkedIn. The team arranged my visa, apartment near the subway, and even taught me how to use WeChat like a local. The weekly Mandarin lessons were basic but super helpful for daily life. Three months later, I landed a role in international trade back in Kuala Lumpur — and my China experience was the deciding factor. Highly recommend for any Southeast Asian student wanting to stand out.

I joined GAC's Career Launch program as a mid-career engineer and it was a great shift from my usual routine. They placed me with a clean energy startup in Shenzhen where I worked on battery storage projects. The team was young, ambitious, and I got to contribute to real technical discussions from week one. Coming from a structured Norwegian work culture, the pace in China was different but in a good way—fast decisions, lots of collaboration, and genuine curiosity about my experience. Thank you so much for the experience!

Interning at a fortune 500 company in shanghai blew me away like really it did. Instead of grabbing coffee, waling around the office, laughing and setting I jumped right into real marketing campaigns. my mentor didn’t let me hide in the background either or as always just grab a coffee and sit somewhere—they had me present straight to clients. Terrifying at first, but honestly, it was incredible. The GAC team took care of everything—visa, apartment, even some survival Mandarin lessons. I met friends from all over the globe. Three months later, I’ve got job offers and a totally new outlook. Every second was worth spending there and the cultural tour was amazing, sharing a moment here with you.

China is actually good at politics

March 01, 2026by: Emily Chen - Canada

As a third year politics student and a heritage with going to China and exploring it's culture and working environment i was really impressed by that, ok on social media we were seeing the face of china that we usually see, but if you get into it internally you'll see what's actually going on. I think I want to be diplomat in the China to experience real politics and international relations. I was placed in such a perfect place where I learned more things perfectly and thanks to my program provider, we have a whole video recorded along the way uploaded to my channel and it had more engagement.

i had a marketing internship with Go Abroad China, the experience was worth paying and i got placed in a manufacturing company and just as i was the one there who knew how to handle the overseas clients and as a native English speaker i got real responsibilities and tasks to handle. team was supportive and i loved the experience of city too. one of the nice things i liked about go abroad china was the Chinese language and it'll help more in opening you eyes to basic Mandarin.
