The School of Finance and Economics hosted its inaugural "Global Careers Forum" on Octorber 12, featuring a panel of four distinguished international alumni who have built successful careers across diverse sectors. The panel included an investment analyst at a Shanghai-based hedge fund (from Indonesia), a sustainable development consultant for an ASEAN non-profit (from Thailand), a founder of an ed-tech startup in Malaysia, and a PhD candidate at a renowned European university (from Uzbekistan). They shared candid stories of their journeys post-Jiangsu University, discussing how their academic foundation, coupled with the cross-cultural competencies gained in Zhenjiang, helped them navigate job markets, advanced studies, and entrepreneurial ventures. The discussion covered practical topics such as leveraging a China-based education for career advantage in one's home country, adapting to different corporate cultures, and maintaining a professional network. Current international students engaged in a lively Q&A session, seeking advice on skill development and personal branding. This forum established a powerful link between current students and alumni, creating a sense of a enduring global community and providing realistic role models and mentorship pathways, thereby enhancing the value and long-term appeal of the School's international graduate programs.
