Recently, YCIS hosted another successful “College and Career Planning Workshop.” The second workshop of the 2014-15 school year, hosted by the Gubei Campus University Guidance Office, focused on “Careers in Business and Communications.” The speakers came from a variety of professions including journalism, consultancy, financial services, food & beverage, and executive search. With YCIS University Guidance Counselors moderating the engaging discussion, the panelists held an insightful conversation on the opportunities within the fields and the skills helpful for success.
Panelists included:
- Ms. Patti Waldmeir, Shanghai correspondent, Financial Times
- Mr. Navin Williams, Chief Executive Officer, Mobilemeasure Consultancy Limited
- Mr. Yi Luo, Senior Managing Director, Blackstone Group
- Mr. Francis Lo, Dean of Starbucks University, Starbucks Company
- Mr. Royce J. Haw, Partner, CTPartners
YCIS’s College and Career Night Planning Workshops are open to all students in Shanghai. The goal of these workshops is for students and their families to learn about a variety of educational opportunities and career paths from real representatives in a chosen profession.
Career workshops, international university visits, and one-on-one counseling are just a few of the ways that the University Guidance Office at YCIS helps to prepare students for higher education and future careers.
