About Us
-
GSM was founded in 2013 in London. From the beginning GSM's mission was to help educators achieve their recruitment goals by connecting with high quality, approved study abroad agencies through events held in UK, US, Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia.
GSM has approved nearly 300 study abroad agencies with a focus on Vietnam, Thailand, Taiwan and Japan. In these countries every agency has been visited as part of the approval process..
In the wake of recent events GSM believes it can best add value to both its educator and agency partners by working as an intermediary signing contracts directly with educators and allowing agents to work with GSM in this new capacity. GSM Apply went live in the Fall of 2020. GSM will remain exclusively US focused.
