Career Development Workshops in Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu and Guangzhou

The British Council in China is once again this year running a series of Alumni UK Career Development workshops across mainland China.

They are linking up with Zhaopin.com to invite well known businesses to take part in these events.

This is a great opportunity for Chinese students/graduates to enhance their understanding of the job market in China, seek job opportunities and access some guidance on long-term career planning.
