Study UK career development workshops are designed to provide Chinese students who are currently studying at UK universities with updated information about China’s job market, trends of industrial development, employer expectations, and the recruitment process that China-based employers usually follow for returning graduates. Students will also learn about the ways they can improve their professional skills and prepare for a career in China upon graduation.
Speakers consist of HR directors and senior managers from leading international and Chinese companies, representing a diverse range of industries, as well as successful alumni entrepreneurs who have developed their own businesses after graduating from the UK.
The workshops will be delivered in Chinese. The main format of the workshops will be panel discussions, with live Q&A sessions facilitated between students and the speakers.
