News and Happenings at ACIF Updated February 3, 2012
2011 turned out to be quite a busy time for ACIF, as we geared up to take on many exciting projects while expanding on our existing programs. In 2012 we expect to launch more new projects as well as still maintain high quality training programs and services to our clients worldwide.
Professional Training and Exchange Programs: We provided training for dozens of delegations both from Chinese government as well as private sector clients throughout the whole year. We have hosted delegation from Zhejiang, Shanghai, Yunnan, Shanxi, Shandong, and many other provinces. The range of training topics spans widely across many industries including healthcare, labor and union rights, corporate auditing, education, etc. In addition to attending training sessions at universities and institutes, our delegates also visited many government agencies, top corporations, NGOs, and think tanks throughout the US. By visiting these organizations, our delegates were able to further understand their training topics via their observation and discussions with the staffs. Our training programs were so successful that many of our training programs were even reported in public media in the US.
In 2012, we look forward to providing training programs to Chinese delegations from an array of industries and government agencies nationwide throughout the whole year. If your organization is interested in participating or provides training in these professional exchange programs for our Chinese delegations, please contact Joanne Wang, our director of Professional Training and Exchange Programs at joannew@acweb.org
