Internship in Shanghai changed my career path

As a business student from Prague, I wanted real international experience before graduation. GAC placed me with a trade company in Shanghai's Jing'an district. From week one, I was helping with market research, client presentations, and supplier negotiations. My mentor taught me how Chinese business culture works – direct, fast-paced, and relationship-driven. The team handled my visa, found me a great apartment, and checked in weekly. Three months later, I returned home with a job offer and a whole new perspective. Worth every koruna.

Internship in Shanghai – exceeded all expectations

As a business graduate from Austria, I wanted international experience before starting my career. GAC placed me with a trading company in Shanghai's Pudong district. From day one, I was working on real projects – market research, supplier negotiations, and client presentations. My mentor taught me how Chinese business culture works, which is completely different from Europe. The team handled my visa, found me a great apartment, and checked in weekly. Three months later, I landed a job in international trade back home. My China experience was the main topic in every interview. Worth every euro.

Pros
  • good behaving colleagues
  • great placement
  • support and communication

Internship in Shanghai opened doors I didn't know existed

As a business graduate from Belgium, I wanted international experience before starting my career. GAC placed me with a trading company in Shanghai's Pudong district.

The team handled my visa, found me a great apartment, and checked in weekly. Three months later, I landed a job in international trade back home – and my China experience was the main topic in every interview. Worth every euro.

Best career move I made

I graduated in International Business and wanted real experience in Asia. GAC placed me with a trading company in Shanghai's Huangpu district. Within my first week, I was helping negotiate supplier contracts and analyzing market trends. My mentor taught me how Chinese business culture works – completely different from Europe. The team handled my visa, found me a great apartment near Jing'an Temple, and even helped me set up Alipay. The weekly Mandarin lessons were super practical. Three months later, I landed a job in global trade back in the Netherlands – and my China experience was the main topic in every interview. Worth every euro.

Pros
  • no boss rules
  • Gave me new perspectives

From Malaysia to Beijing — best career move I made

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.

The internship that changed my entire career path

As a marketing graduate from France, I wasn't sure what to expect. GAC placed me with a PR agency in Beijing, and within my first week, I was helping manage a real campaign for an international brand. My mentor taught me how Chinese social media works — completely different from Europe. The team handled everything: visa, accommodation, airport pickup. I also took weekly Mandarin lessons which helped me navigate daily life. Three months later, I came back with a job offer and a whole new perspective. If you're serious about international business, do this program.

Business graduate from Canada

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 cause the experience, the memories and the skills I learned are more valuable than anything else.

i found a treasure

Interning in Shanghai was life-changing. GAC placed me with a marketing startup where I got real responsibility from day one. The team handled everything — visa, housing, support. Came back with job offers. Russia is also one of the world's competitor market for job seekers and newly graduated. Definitely helped with getting many job offers cause many Russian employers prefer the graduates with experience from the world's rapidly growing country. Thanks to Go Abroad China for all the support along the journey.
