Our vision is simple – to provide a unique personal and professional development opportunity in China, and a major benefit to future career prospects.

What U.K. Business is saying about China

Philomena Chen Philomena Chen Head of Asia Pacific development at UK Trade and Investment (UKTI North West)

Many employers tell me that having staff with Chinese language skills or a knowledge of the Chinese business environment would be a major asset to their business. I would strongly advise any young person to add a knowledge of China to their CV.

Jessica Zhang Jessica Zhang of China Britain Business Link.

China will shortly be the world's second largest economy. Chinese is already the most widely used 2nd language after English. Getting ahead in life for many aspirational young people will soon equate to getting to know China.

Chris Baron Chris Baron, Managing Director of the British Chamber of Commerce in China.

During my time here at the British Chamber of Commerce in China we have employed several younger people at the start of their careers all of whom have now moved on to excellent jobs with great career prospects, both here in China and back in the UK. This supports my view that in an increasingly competitive market, a period of work in China with the right organisation can really make your CV ‘stand out from the page’ and offer a unique and valuable learning experience unparalleled anywhere else on this planet!

Michael O'Sullivan Michael O'Sullivan, Secretary general of the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China.

As two-way trade and investment continue to grow, the EU has become China's number one business partner. We expect to see more and more European companies, including smaller companies, entering the Chinese market, and needing China expertise to succeed there.
