China Expat Jobs

Golden Bridges is launching a program to serve American Alumni whom have lived and studied in China. We will be creating social media tools and offline campaigns to energize and strengthen their capacity to engage, connect and succeed in the China context. This initiative has already received presidential support from the White House, as part of its 100,000 Strong Initiative (http://goo.gl/L4urn). The successful launch of the program has promise to be announced by Hillary Clinton in May during the next US-China Strategic & Economic Dialogs between American and Chinese officials. Although government supported, this program will be independently run and controlled by the Golden Bridges team.
