GoabroadChina is a really good program

Hello, my name is Sofia. I recommend GoabroadChina because it was a really good program they helped me with a lot of things. For example, when I arrived at the airport they picked me up, helped me with the SIM card, and took me to my hotel. They talked to the people from the hotel so they helped me with that then they also offered to walk me to the school so I could see the school. The Chinese classes were really good and the job they got me was also very fun it was all I wanted, so I really recommend working in some company that GoabroadChina offers.

Get a better understanding of the world

Hi, I am Andre, I came to China to experience a different culture and see different things, just to get a better understanding of the world. Most people think the world is simply about their hometown or cities, but it's much bigger and broader, with much more to offer than what we see on TV or from our doorstep.

Being here allows me to immerse myself in a different culture and interact with different people. It helps me pick up different traits and become a better person. Additionally, I'm here to get a better understanding of business because I'm a marketing major. I'm working with a marketing team during my internship, which is helping me improve and gain a broad perspective on global business. This experience aligns with my career path in international business.

One thing to note about China is that if you're not from here, people might stare at you. It's just curiosity, as many people come from rural or smaller parts of China. You just have to get used to it, and it'll be okay. As for me, I do like it here. Initially, there was a culture shock, but once you get used to it and explore it, you'll see the inner workings of Beijing beyond the initial impressions.

Beijing is more diverse than I thought. I've met people from Europe, Africa, and various other places. They all have different stories, but they're all great people. Lastly, I would definitely recommend Go Abroad China to others. In a country like this, where it's strict and different from what I'm used to, having someone at your back is crucial. They've been supportive and have helped me have the experience I've had. It's all about connections, and without them, I wouldn't have had the same experience.

A wonderful experience, I think I will come back to China again

My name is Yann Garrett. I'm from France, I'm studying engineering, specifically construction and sustainable engineering. My career goal is to be an engineer working as a technical and as a manager. So I came to China through GoabroadChina to find relevant internship projects and increase my experience.

I've been working with the company named PG City. This was a very good experience, and yet the boss is very cool. My colleagues are very cool, and the work inside is very interesting. I've been working as a designer, it was pretty interesting. I also made some research on China. I actually got to know some of China's culture with this company, like how the government works, and this is quite interesting.

I've been to lots of places in Beijing, like the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and the Summer Palace,etc.

The first week was difficult, but then I met some people, and the social network became very large. I know a lot of people, and I used to go with them to some events or go to places.

When we consider further services with GoAbroadChina in the future, it's a very good opportunity to move to China, definitely.

I strongly recommend GoabroadChina to you

I am Tamara from Egypt, and I just graduated from college. I'm here with GoAbroadChina internship program and Chinese language classes. It's been really great until now. It was very, very welcoming, especially when it's a new environment and I feel out of place. GoAbroadChina working staff are doing a lot to make me feel comfortable and at home, and they're really really great at that. I wish I had known a little more information before coming into China, since I had problems with email, but they've briefed me here, and they're waiting for me with a package at the airport, which helps a lot.

I would definitely recommend GoAbroadChina to all my classmates and other people who are looking for an adventure and really want to immerse themselves in a new environment.

I had a really good experience,Thank you, GoAbroadChina.

Hi everybody my name is Elisa ,I am 25 years old and I come from Milan Italy. This is my experience with GoabroadChina. I'm about to finish my internship. I have already graduated almost one year ago. I really wanted to start working to have some working experience, so I decided join an internship. In China so for that GoAbroadChina was so helpful because it was basically the only way to come here. They were very very helpful since the very beginning from the application process to the helping with the visa. I am very grateful to the GoAbroadChina girls because they helped me a lot. They followed me through the whole process, answered every question that I had, they were always there for me.

Thank you for the the accommodation, which is convenient. The internship company is a Chinese company which trades steel products. It really fits my major which is International Management. I had a real good experience there ,because everyone was really nice with me since the first day and my colleagues are really nice. They were very very helpful and I learned a lot.

In general I can say that I had a really good experience. So thank you, GoAbroadChina.

Go Abroad China

Why did you choose this program?

I had to go abroad as per university course requirements. I first started my research and involved my career advisor who is also on campus, and helped a lot with finalizing the formalities of going abroad from my school.

What did your program provider assist you with, and what did you have to organize on your own?

Go Abroad China did manage to give me all the important things: getting my study visa didn't present any problems, I got picked up at the airport in Shanghai since it was my first time there anyway. I think the weekend activities can be even more organized.

What is one piece of advice you'd give to someone going on your program?

Not to be scared and enjoy China because once you are there and studying everyday, time tends to go by very quickly. Within no time you will realize you are already preparing to go back to your original school after the summer holidays.

What does an average day/week look like as a participant of this program?

I had around 20 hours of class time per week, which was definitely a lot since I went to summer school and expected it to be a little less strict. But actually, it was fine in the end and I had a blast learning Chinese with 20 something other classmates from a lot of different countries.

Going into your experience abroad, what was your biggest fear, and how did you overcome it and/or how did your views on the issue change?

Going to China for the first time was of course something I really thought about and got nervous about, but strangely enough I wasn't shocked as I had predicted. I was worried about life since I didn't speak Chinese, but actually Shanghai is so modern, the Chinese there speak English.

What is your favorite memory from your time abroad?

Being in Shanghai and learning about the city, its hang outs, history, new locations and other little nooks in the city with new friends was a great experience for me.

What is your favorite travel memory?

One of the best places I have visited here in China is Yunnan Province. Yunnan is a special place occupied by different minority groups, these people usually speak a different language to the Mandarin Chinese that we are used to, their food is different but they have preserved their cultural heritage very well, so much that their way of life attracts lots of Chinese and foreign tourists. I think it is amazing that we can all be in China but still have groups of people who haven't gone mainstream; they still have their unique traditions that people travel many miles to go see.

Which destination is most underrated? Conversely, which is most overrated?

When I first joined Go Abroad China, our main cities of operations were Beijing and Shanghai. Having branched out to southern China, Chengdu city in Sichuan Province is actually becoming quite popular, this is a great thing because people can still have great experiences even if they are not in Beijing or Shanghai. Chengdu seems to be getting some spotlight now especially from foreigners who are looking for language learning and work opportunities. Many firms are also relocating there because the average cost of living and production is still quite low, meaning better profits compared to if they were located in Shanghai.

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

Yes, I think the top thing I still continue to learn even today is maintaining good working relationships with our partner companies. In our go abroad and education sector, we have collaborations with many different companies inside China, and schools too. I feel like my people skills are always being put to the test because part of my job duties involves communicating directly with them. And during the busiest months when we have many clients, our communication is even more frequent. So keeping a good connection and relationship with such companies is the most important thing that I have learned and have to keep doing.

What unique qualities does your company possess?

I have seen that a large portion of our clients are usually happy with how we arrange placements for them, it makes me feel proud of our company's service delivery department, their job is very important as our company is judged based on that. With the company doing well, we are able to help even the clients/applicants who have a limited budget to customize our services so that at least we can reach a satisfactory agreement. For a few lucky ones, they might even get a partial scholarship if they prove that they are hard-workers and fit the requirements.

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

We had a young student from Australia who joined the language program in Beijing, when her program came to an end, like many others she was saying how much she would miss Beijing and that she would come back. At the time, of course, I thought it was a polite conversation, but a year later I was surprised when she called us back as said this time she wants to do an internship! I thought it was special because due to the expenses of traveling to China, it takes a lot of time to save up and have a new budget to travel again. Our management over here was so impressed that she got herself a sweet discount, she is now considered a friend here at our GAC offices!
