At a LinkedIn graduate recruitment event in Beijing in August 2024, international students gathered to explore career opportunities in China’s dynamic job market. Among them was Josephine Annan, a master’s student from Ghana at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, who shared her insights on navigating the competitive landscape.
“I’ve found that to truly stand out, it’s essential to combine both business acumen and technological expertise,” Annan said during an interview with CGTN’s Enoch Wong. “In an internationalized workforce, having multiple skill sets opens doors to a wider range of opportunities.”
As industries in China continue to evolve rapidly, especially in sectors like manufacturing and consumer goods, the demand for professionals with diverse competencies is on the rise. Annan emphasized that staying adaptable and embracing continuous learning are key to thriving in a technologically advanced world.
“Technology is reshaping industries at an unprecedented pace,” she noted. “Those who can bridge the gap between business and technology will be the ones leading the future.”
The event highlighted the importance of multidimensional skill development for graduates aiming to succeed in China’s ever-changing job market. For international students like Annan, it also underscored the value of cross-cultural communication and global perspectives in contributing to China’s economic growth.
