Job markets changei have seen increasing job postings on Vancouver island, especially in nanaimo, for bilingual employees from last year. Many postings are management level positions. Very often I receive these postings but I have no one to refer to the employers. You dont need to go to CHINA TO WORK; YOU CAN WORK HERE AT HOME, STILL USING/PRACTICING YOUR LANGUAGE SKILLS!

EXPERIENCE AND FUN OPPORTUNITIES!IF YOU ARE SIMPLY INTERESTED IN EXPERIENCING CHINA, CHINESE LIFE, CHINESE FOOD, OR IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN FURTHER YOUR EDUCATION OR UNDERSTANDING CHINESE MARKET,THERE ARE LOTS OF SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE TO YOU! And,Taking this certificate or some of the courses can be your stepping stone!

There are lots of wonderful scholarship opportunities in china!
