New Partnership Targets Sino-Australian English Training Market

Online, August 28, 2009 (Newswire.com) - The education and training market in China is thriving. With 12% growth in 2008 alone, there seems to be huge potential still. As China and Australia continue to strengthen their economic ties, the need for better communication between Chinese and Australian business people has never been greater.

Shanghai Contemporary Training and Performance English have formed a strategic partnership to provide seamless business English and communication skills training for multi-nationals across China and Australia.

Shanghai Contemporary Training (cn-sct.com/) specializes in providing business English and communication skills training for corporations and working professionals across mainland China. SCT's unique training approach has allowed them to work closely with fortune 500 companies, state owned enterprises and corporate executives across all industries.

Performance English (http:// www.performanceenglish.com.au/) specializes in Business English and IELTS test preparation programs for overseas born professionals coming to Australia. They are the language partner of Australian business and have some of Australia's largest companies among their clients.

"There are clear advantages for our clients with us developing a Sino-Australian English training consortium," says Chris Minyen, Managing Director of Shanghai Contemporary Training. "Clients, both in China and Australia, will be able to continue to benefit from local knowledge and expertise but also to take advantage of our international reach. Training programs will no longer be limited by borders, but can continue seamlessly when staff are on extended business trips or transferred abroad."
