Mentorship Program
AustCham Beijing's Mentorship Program
Moving to a foreign country in search of employment opportunities can be an intense and challenging process. This task can become increasingly daunting if you are in the early stages of your career and lacking the practice to differentiate yourself from the large number of qualified and experienced people also competing in the labour market.
AustCham Beijing is passionate about supporting those who find themselves in this situation, being able to provide them with the tools and resources they require to enhance their employment prospects.
