Go Abroad China Career Launch Internship Program

Build international work experience while living in one of the world's fastest-growing economies. Go Abroad China helps you secure a professional internship and supports you before and throughout your time in China, making the move feel far more manageable.

Pricing scales with program length (1–12 months) and accommodation type (homestay, shared apartment, or private apartment) — a personal program advisor can build a custom package around your budget.

What this is

Go Abroad China's Career Launch Internship Program matches international students, graduates, and young professionals with internship placements across industries including business, marketing, finance, technology, engineering, and education. The program combines career development with practical support such as visa assistance, accommodation, airport pickup, Mandarin lessons, cultural activities, and local guidance so participants can focus on gaining international work experience

Why this is useful

Go Abroad China has been running international programs since 2003 and specializes in helping participants combine career development with cultural immersion.

Its partnerships with companies across multiple industries also give applicants flexibility when choosing a placement aligned with their career goals
