Finance and Technology in China
Our finance and technology trip in Shanghai brings the classroom to life and gives students the chance to experience the realities of business. There are visits to tech companies, meetings with staff from Disney and tours of the thriving manufacturing scene. Plus- we also arrange a whole series of cultural activities in Shanghai including a visit to the beating heart of the financial district- a sure-fire way to inspire the next generation of business people.
This experience is centred around interactive experiences and we aim to create a trip that is aspirational, inspiring and horizon-expanding. The visits to factories and tech companies are designed to not only give a good educational experience but also to give young people an insight into the types of careers that are available to them in the future. We have worked with the likes of IKEA, Volkswagen and Disney and curated relevant educational experiences with them. Students will also gain a view into the cultural riches of this metropolis with visits to the Yu Yuan Gardens, the Bund and marvelling at the ERA Acrobatics Show.
