Employment & Entrepreneurship: Diverse Pathways and Success

Graduates entering the workforce have secured positions at companies such as the Agricultural Bank of China and Sinno. Entrepreneurial ventures are flourishing in sectors like e-commerce, business services, healthcare, and new retail. Alumni from previous cohorts have demonstrated significant entrepreneurial success. A notable example is 2021 graduate Ms. Zhang Tao, who launched her own business during her studies and later founded the personal fashion brand "popchee," achieving annual sales exceeding 100 million RMB in 2024. This powerfully validates the programme's cultivation model of "seamless integration of theory and practice."
