China Business Club
中国商务俱乐部
The Confucius Institute actively promote knowledge and understanding of China and Chinese business in the business community. Collaboration with organisations such as the China-Britain Business Council and the Sheffield-China Business Network allows the Institute to build up links and contacts throughout the British business community, while giving that community the benefits of the cultural and linguistic expertise in which the Institute excels. we focus on the following three areas:
Business Breakfast briefings
Business Breakfast briefings and high-profile business events are aimed at local organisations and enterprises working with China as well as the general public where appropriate. SCI is committed to becoming a key link between local and regional organisations and China and is to provide information and contacts that promote economic links between China and South Yorkshire.
China ABC workshops for professionals
Intercultural communication workshops "Business ABC" aims at staff from the university, businesses and other civic organizations that have links with China. The event comprises three sessions: a Mandarin language lesson focusing on key useful phrases, a talk on intercultural communication and correct etiquette, and an interactive workshop where participants are asked to use their newly acquired language skills in role plays with members of SCI staff.
Business Language and Culture Teaching and Testing
Apart from offering the "Business ABC" workshops, the Institute also offers individualised learning and testing for businesses wishing to train or recruit new members of staff who can speak Chinese.
