As intense academic competition becomes increasingly prevalent in education systems, more families are looking abroad for broader development opportunities. Planning an appropriate international education pathway for children has emerged as a crucial consideration for many business professionals.
On December 20, 2023, the Jiangxi E-Commerce Association partnered with the Jiangxi Center for International Education Cooperation and Teacher Development to host a "Study Abroad Planning and Academic Exchange Seminar." The event aimed to provide member companies with professional international education consultation services to support their children's overseas study aspirations.
Comprehensive Guidance on International Education
The seminar featured participation from over ten association members, including executive vice presidents Li Jiuhua and Zhou Lihua, along with vice president Liu Zhen. Association secretary-general Qi Ligen presided over the event, which focused on two primary areas: study abroad planning and academic exchange programs.
Key Aspects of Study Abroad Planning
Sun Ruyi, a senior study abroad consultant from the Jiangxi Center, presented a systematic analysis of multiple development pathways for high school graduates and young students. The presentation covered several critical dimensions:
- Comparative analysis of popular destinations: Detailed examination of education systems, institutional advantages, and cultural characteristics in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada.
- Application requirements: Comprehensive guidance on application procedures, documentation requirements, and language proficiency standards across different countries.
- Career-aligned program selection: Recommendations for academic program choices based on current employment trends and individual student interests.
Official Academic Exchange Programs
Huang Jing, dean of the Training Institute at the Jiangxi Center, introduced government-backed overseas academic exchange initiatives. These programs offer students direct access to premium international educational resources through several structured components:
- Immersion programs at prestigious foreign institutions
- Corporate visits to leading international enterprises

- End-to-end support including visa processing, safety assurance, and official certification
The programs distinguish themselves through official government endorsement, partnerships with top-tier academic institutions, and comprehensive logistical support.

The collaboration with the Jiangxi E-Commerce Association addresses both the educational needs of members' children and professional development opportunities for the members themselves.
