Who knew a corporate internship could feel like an archaeological dig through modern business practices?

My placement at a Shanghai tech giant revealed layers of international commerce I never knew existed. The GAC team didn't just prepare me for the professional world - they equipped me with cultural decoder rings that transformed confusing situations into fascinating learning moments. Between analyzing market trends and navigating the city's sprawling metro system, I discovered hidden capabilities within myself. The compensation wasn't just financial; it was a treasure chest of skills, stories, and perspectives that continue to pay dividends in my career. For those seeking more than just a line on their resume, this internship offers a genuine transformation.

Paid internship in Shanghai with a Fortune 500 company

I did the paid internship in Shanghai with a Fortune 500 company and it was awesome! The work was real and I learned so much about international business. The company was big and professional, and I got to work on actual projects. The GAC team helped me a lot with the visa and finding a nice apartment to stay in. My Mandarin got better just from being there everyday and hanging out with other interns. It was a great experience and I made friends from all over. Definitely worth it for anyone who wants to boost their resume and see what working in China is like!

I just finished my 6-month marketing internship with a Fortune 500 tech

I just finished my 6-month marketing internship with a Fortune 500 tech firm in Shanghai, arranged by Go Abroad China, and it was nothing short of transformative. From the very beginning, the personalized placement process was impressive—they really took the time to match my skills and career goals with the right company.

The internship itself was substantive. I wasn't just getting coffee; I was entrusted with real projects that impacted our regional strategy. The professional mentorship I received from both my Chinese supervisor and the GAC career coach was invaluable for my CV and interview skills.

Beyond the office, the support system was incredible. A standout memory was the GAC-organized networking event where I connected with executives from three different multinational companies—an opportunity I'd never have had on my own. The 24/7 local team was always a quick message away, whether it was a visa question or a recommendation for the best dumplings in town.

This program is a complete package. The paid placement, comfortable accommodation, and included Mandarin classes removed all the usual stressors of moving abroad. I feel infinitely more confident and globally-minded.

I would 100% recommend this to any student or recent graduate who is serious about gaining a competitive edge and wants to experience the fast-paced professional world of China. An absolute 10/10 experience.

My internship in China

My internship in China gave me the kind of hands-on learning I’d always hoped for. I worked with a dynamic team in a fast-paced company where I got to contribute to real projects instead of just observing. Outside of work, I explored the city, connected with other interns, and even picked up practical Mandarin skills. The program staff were always available for support, which made me feel secure living abroad for the first time. I came home with new professional skills, cultural awareness, and a stronger sense of independence.

Pros
  • Good Support
  • weekly language classes
