EI Institute's accredited Corporate and Service Learning Program combine work experience, language instruction, and professional skills training to prepare students for an international career that gives them a comprehensive understanding of China business environment and a competitive advantage in the international job market.
EI Institute was conceived by a team from our parent company, Enjoy International Consultants*, a global consulting company that assists governments, multinational corporations and small enterprises in analyzinge, developing, managing e and investing in new opportunities.
Although China is an emerging market of unparalleled potential for existing companies and entrepreneurs, Enjoy International Consultants recognized that few non-Chinese have the knowledge, relationships or operational know-how that are necessary to do business successfully in China.
Numerous years of experience in China-based business and corporate training along with leveraging Enjoy International Consultants' existing partnerships has allowed EI Institute to create a unique and effective curriculum.
Enjoy International Consultants has been named the Commercial Business Ambassador to North America for the Qinghuai District of Nanjing, China. To learn more about Enjoy International Consultants, visit www.ei-consultants.com.
