I didn't come to China for an internship

I didn't come to China for an internship; I came for a professional awakening—and found it on the 42nd floor of a Shenzhen tech tower. My placement through GAC placed me at the intersection of innovation and tradition, coding alongside engineers by day and decoding the mysteries of tea ceremonies by night. The Fortune 500 environment was intense but profoundly rewarding, offering mentorship that felt less like training and more like an apprenticeship in global business. GAC’s support was the silent engine behind it all: seamless logistics, cultural navigation, and a community of fellow interns that turned into a global network. I left with more than a line on my CV—I left with the confidence to build a career without borders.
