Review Your Program

* Overall educational experience

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

Joining the Go Abroad China internship program was one of the best decisions I’ve made. I interned at a tech startup in Shanghai where I gained real-world experience, contributed to meaningful projects, and built valuable cross-cultural communication skills. GAC took care of everything—from visa support to housing and weekend cultural tours. This program not only strengthened my resume but gave me the confidence to pursue a global career. Highly recommended for any young professional!
