Liam D: Bachelor of Business\/Laws – New Colombo Plan mobility student to Zhejiang University, China<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was recently fortunate enough to attend Australia Week in China as a New Colombo Plan student delegate. Australia Week in China, or AWIC in short, constituted Australia\u2019s largest ever trade mission to China, with over 1,000 delegates making the journey, each with the aim of strengthening Australia\u2019s business ties in the Middle Kingdom. Business cards were exchanged, deals were made, and the week\u2019s events put to rest any question of the significance of Sino-Australian business relations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Held in the heart of Shanghai\u2019s scintillating Pudong district, AWIC\u2019s proceedings afforded me an invaluable opportunity to network with some of Australia and China\u2019s most influential businesspeople and learn more about the trends shaping today\u2019s international business landscape. As an NCP student delegate, I was able to attend several networking functions, the AustCham Westpac Australia China Business Awards Gala Dinner and participate in a site visit to the cutting edge Zhangjiang Technology Precinct. Through these events, I was given the opportunity to meet professionals from a diverse range of backgrounds, including senior lawyers from top tier international firms, executives from multinational banking institutions, Chinese ecommerce marketers, and representatives of leading educational institutions. Gaining exposure to these professionals afforded me hugely in depth insights into the nature of the opportunities emerging in China and Australia today.\"liam<\/a><\/p>\n

In addition to the business networking opportunities the week provided me, being an NCP exchange student in China has allowed me the unique opportunity to develop professionally in a way I am sure would be impossible outside of Asia. Through the program, I have been able to secure employment with National Australia Bank in Hong Kong, and in July I will commence a three month internship with the company\u2019s institutional banking team.<\/p>\n

Not yet even two months into my exchange, I can say confidently that the opportunities I have had made available to me will account for some of the most transformative, inspirational and exciting moments of my university experience to date.\"liam<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
