Shanghai Summer Programme 2011: Career Discovery in Communications

The JMSC is offering a unique three-week summer programme in Shanghai this summer called Career Discovery in Communications.

The course aims to enhance the creative power and communication ability of young people by exposing them to the fast changing world of information technology.
