PwC Sets Up First Domestic Non-Academic International Vocational Training Institution in Shanghai FTZ PwC Sets Up First Domestic Non-Academic International Vocational Training Institution in Shanghai FTZ

(Yicai Global) Oct. 20 -- PwC China registered and set up the first domestic non-academic international vocational training institution, You Plus, in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone.

It provides a 12-month full-time training package. The curriculum is divided into four stages, with the first and the third stages for classroom learning, and the second and fourth for practical training. 

During the six months of classroom teaching, PwC will work with several senior industry professionals and educational experts from home and abroad to independently design 10 interdisciplinary comprehensive courses, covering communication and business skills, business practice, consultative thinking and skills, 21st-century industry insights, global vision and project management.

You Plus will integrate six months of hands-on training, during which students can gain knowledge and receive instruction on applied business skills through practical experience with corporate senior management in PwC, the world's top 500 enterprises and first-class firms.  

After the introduction of 54 liberalizing measures in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone, authorities adopted the management mode of national treatment plus negative list prior to admission for foreign investment to introduce international training institutions.

With a reform to simplify the procedures for establishing a business in the Shanghai Pudong New Area, the management mode for the international occupation skills training industry witnessed a shift early last year from one requiring registration to one merely having groups list in a directory. The change facilitates investing and eases administrative dealings.

Benefiting from the negative list and new process, PwC obtained a business license and made a filing six working days after submitting its application materials, and it opened three months later.
