We continuously seek ways to reduce our environmental impact and contribute positively to the societies that host our programs.
Testimonials
Chris - United Kingdom - Internship Program in Beijing
My time in China has been extremely rewarding. When I arrived, the culture shock was immense but I quickly settled into Chinese life, thanks to Gina and the GAC team. My internship was exactly what I was looking for, and it gave me the opportunity to work in a fantastically social co-working space in the heart of Sanlitun SOHO, a cosmopolitan and refined area.
Tanya - Australia - Internship Program in Qingdao
My name is Tanya, a new graduate from Australia. My proficiency of Chinese before doing the program was almost non-existent. I chose to do the full internship package at Qingdao.
My finance internship was at a company called Lujinsuo of roughly 60 employees. The internship job duty included the typical financial jobs you would expect –prepare financial reports, provide financial advice, business analysis, marketing statistics collection, and revising some contracts, etc.
Wesley - United Kingdom - Internship and Chinese lessons
I first came to China for the language specifically and got the chance to go to Peking University Chinese program and study for half a year. I am now currently interning at Vericant, in Beijing China, an IT company focused on carrying out video assessments for Chinese students applying to study abroad. Applying through GAC was the best decision I made while searching for an internship in China. They arranged everything, from finding my perfect internship company to providing a great accommodation for me and much more. They have really been supportive and have always been available to assist me whenever i encountered any difficulties.
