Our Past Work Speaks Volumes

On behalf of our North American customers, we have facilitated relationships with scores of Chinese high schools and dozens of Chinese post secondary institutions. On behalf of various governments, we have interviewed hundreds of schools, catalogued 60 Chinese research organizations, and 40 advanced government training institutions.

The pursuit of these engagements has brought us into contact with thousands of officials from Chinese high schools, post secondary institutions, and various branches of government. We not only understand China’s education sector, we also understand what it takes to form successful partnerships and smoothly run successful programs and projects in China.

Our past projects are the best way to give you ideas for how we can help your institution meet its goals in China. However, every institution is unique and our approaches are customized to our customers' needs. Call us to discuss your school's unique situation and what we might do to help you achieve your goals more effectively and efficiently in China.

Past Projects: Chinese Secondary Schools

We helped a small, prestigious Canadian university college establish a high school competition in China. The competition has been incredibly successful, with excellent participation and press. Participating schools include national, provincial and municipal key high schools, with more than 400 students competing.

We helped a smaller regional university with strong undergraduate scientific research capability but low enrolment in science programs form a recruitment partnership with sixteen Chinese high schools to whom they have rolled out a Science Award Program.

We helped an elite US university (with tuition of over $35,000 a year) to roll out recruitment programs to Chinese high schools and develop a “high touch” marketing program to students at those high schools.

We helped a North American private high school form relationships with Chinese high schools for extracurricular and EAP programs.

We helped the government of British Columbia to develop Sino-BC relationships at the Ministry and secondary school level.

Past Projects: Chinese Post Secondary Institutions

We worked with both the Canadian federal government and the Alberta provincial government to help identify and catalogue the key research laboratories in China within ten specific fields, the goal being the facilitation of direct research collaborations between specific Canadian institutions and Chinese counterparts. Our work involved direct interviews of laboratory leadership at dozens of institutions.

We assisted a small North American college in licensing their business curriculum to Chinese counterparts.

We formed partnerships between Chinese colleges and a Canadian polytechnic university to offer Chinese college graduates the chance to "upgrade" Chinese college diplomas into bachelors degrees (block transfer).
