Global Apprenticeship customizes your abroad experience from the exact dates of your program to the skill-set you want to develop to the specific sector you want to thrive in. We proud ourselves in affordability, tailored client care and flexibility. We are also the only company that offers you post-internship support for our China programs, which means we will continue assisting you if you were to return to China within 5 years. We do not view our apprentices as just clients, but rather as part of our company who share the same vision on creating a more open and globally connected world. The success of our company is thus measured by our apprentices’ success stories.

What we value:

• Cultural exchange • Individual growth • Meaningful experiences • Global awareness • Social good

What we offer:

• Internships in Shanghai and Beijing • Survival Chinese Program in Shanghai • Volunteer Opportunities in Nepal

Why GA? Experience and Diversity. Our team in Nepal has over 6 years of experience in hosting volunteers and placing them in social projects. Meanwhile, our Beijing branch has been assisting college interns from different parts of the world since 2007. The Shanghai staff is a multicultural team with 5 years of experience. Lastly, our ambassadors and staff in the U.S. are savvy travelers who have engaged in different projects worldwide. Relationships. We believe in building life-long relationships with our apprentices. We stay connected through e-mails, social media, and alumni events. Nevertheless, we especially love it when we schedule face-to-face meet-ups during our travels.

“It definitely gave me some big insights as to what I want to do in the future with my life.” - Martin Molina, Intern at a Pharmaceutical Company and Student from Harvard University

“I’m satisfied with GA’s service especially the way GA arranged my internship; before I came, while I’m in Shanghai, and after I left. I couldn’t ask for more.” - Ika Sari, Intern at a Live Communications Company and Alumnus from SFSU

What is GA?

"I would definitely recommend GA - not only because it's a bargain, compared to other programs like this, but they really did a very good job at helping me find a great internship. If I had continued the internship search on my own, I would have never been able to get this internship without GA." – Jonathan Hsu, Intern at a Design Consultancy and Student from UCLA

Survival Chinese in Shanghai

SC focuses heavily on survival Mandarin, cultural immersion and hands-on learning. From touching the basics-such as pinyin and tones- to navigating on Chinese websites, your Chinese teacher will ensure that you learn practical Mandarin that you can use in your daily life, in addition to absorbing the culture and gaining a fresh perspective of China.

Every student has different abilities and interests. The one-on-one classes will be customized according to your needs and interests. You will have the flexibility to choose your own class schedule. Your class topics can also be personalized based on your interests, such as business Mandarin, specific industry jargon, Chinese cuisine, modern history and more. Lastly, SC includes group excursions to learn more about Chinese culture and modern-day lifestyle.

Our customized program offers the best value for your time and money, while allowing you to get an enriching learning experience.

Overview:

• One-on-one classes • Learn by interest • Practice Chinese with local

people • Group excursions on Chinese

culture • Day trips outside of Shanghai

You can book the classes independently, or in addition to any of our Shanghai programs.
