China Careers: Are They Still a Worthwhile Investment?

 

In partnership with the East Asia Seminar Series at the Asian Institute, University of Toronto, the Canada China Forum Toronto Chapter’s upcoming roundtable: China Careers: Are They Still a Worthwhile Investment? will be held at the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy.

 

As the global landscape and Canada-China relations evolve, pursuing or continuing a career in China is becoming more complex. Canadian young professionals and students are facing a growing set of challenges, such as access to higher educational institutions and job markets, safety and privacy concerns, and skepticism about adding work experience in China on their resumes. For businesses, policymakers, and professionals, understanding China’s economic structure, political landscape, and cultural nuances is essential for staying competitive and informed. Despite the seemingly discouraging outlook, China will remain attractive for prospective students and professionals across industries and sectors, and will continue to be significant for Canada as a whole, impacting its economic, geopolitical, and social landscape in profound ways.

 

 

The roundtable will be moderated by Co-Programming Director Maxime Proud featuring discussants Sarah Kutulakos, Executive Director, at the Canada China Business Council (CCBC), and Darren Touch, Founder and CEO of the Canada China Forum. Shannon Garden-Smith, Research Coordinator at the Asian Institute, will provide introductory remarks.
