Reed Exhibitions China committed to talent projects

Reed Exhibitions Greater China has announced its continued commitment to a scholarship program for young Chinese talents in the study of Event Management.

The company intended to expand the program to cover all the students in the Chinese mainland through a partnership with the National Society of Event Management Educators which represents 50 leading universities across the country.

Reed Exhibitions China launched the scholarship programme in 2007 in cooperation with the Beijing International Studies University (BISU) to motivate students and cultivate their commitments to the exhibition industry while providing a bridge to link their future career.

The selected students will not only receive financial assistance and job training during their studies, but also have an opportunity to work in the company after graduation.

"We will continue to play our part in building greater resources for the exhibition industry in China. The BISU is an excellent partner who helps us nurture and develop young talents," said Preecha S. Chen, president of Reed Exhibitions Greater China.

"I am proud that we are able to bring this programme to the next level and offer it to the outstanding students across China. At Reed, we are committed to our industrial and social responsibilities and welcoming these talents to work with us."

"Reed Exhibitions China is the first company to launch such an initiative and we are pleased with the results, " said Professor Liu Dake, chairman of National Society of Event Management Educators.

"With our joint efforts, the selected students are able to take part in a variety of trainings and create networks that benefit both their career and personal development. We appreciate Reed's commitment to this project," Liu added.
