Helping our students develop
EDUCATIONAL CONSULTANCY
We work with Chinese students, in parallel with their academic studies, to help them develop the soft-skills, competences and extra-curricular experiences necessary to be competitive candidates for leading global universities and organisations and help them present these to admissions officers and graduate recruiters.
INTERNSHIPS & WORK PLACEMENTS
We match Chinese students to international companies and organisations to provide mutually beneficial work experience and placements: For students, the opportunity to experience, learn from and contribute to an international work environment and for companies to experience our students' knowledge, skills and understanding of the Chinese market.
TRAINING & PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Our online and offline training courses prepare Chinese students for effective integration into international professional environments. Courses focus on communications, professional skills and cross-cultural understanding.
