During these courses, participants learn basic Chinese language
communication skills, while consultants thoroughly discuss the
people and the business culture of The People's Republic of China.
Often included in the training is a panel discussion led by
executives who have worked extensively in China. The classes are
adaptable for groups of about 10-20 participants, and can be
customized to fit your needs. Our cross-cultural training programs
help to bridge gaps for people who interact with China, such as
business transferees and their families, and employees of global
companies. Whether you are heading overseas on a business trip,
communicating regularly with foreign partners from the U.S., or
selling to customers in China, training from USCCC can ensure that
you can communicate effectively. International business requires
much more than knowing a country's language. It is important to be
skilled in the cultural nuances of a society to make the best
impression and avoid misunderstandings.

Lessons will include daily drills in Chinese language and time for

cultural issues to place lessons in context.
Fees for the program are tentatively $495 per person, include the
cost of materials. USCCC can accommodate you with cultural
orientations at your site or ours, in large or small groups. Every
program is custom-tailored to your specific needs.
After attending a USCCC cross cultural seminar, participants will
have a deeper understanding of the values, behaviors and attitudes
encountered in China, and the impact such values have on their work.
They will be equipped to choose the right techniques for dealing
with international cultural and business issues effectively. And
finally, they will have an enhanced ability to interact with people
from China socially and professionally to build a trusting
relationship.
