East Meets West: Young Professionals' Experiences and Insights

NZCTA YA Panel Event

Join us on the 27th July from 5:30pm onwards for our next event, East Meets West: Young Professionals' Experiences and Insights, with an incredible lineup of panelists for this event from Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT), New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE), LILO Desserts, and the New Zealand China Council!

On the night you’ll hear from three incredibly talented young professionals who have been in your shoes before and who will share their career stories so far. Throughout the conversation we will expand on their early university journey, discuss their personal and professional experience in China, and some of the pivotal moments in their career journey so far. They will also share unique industry experiences and how the recruitment process is like for their respective organisations.

Join us to hear them demystify their job titles and explain what their day-to-day life at work looks like.
