On the morning of June 8th, the pre-trip symposium for internship students to the Uganda (Sunshine Industry Co., Ltd.) was successfully held in the first meeting room of the office building. Leaders attending the symposium included President Liu Guiyu, Vice President Wang Yongzhi, the supervisors of International exchange and cooperation department and textile and garment department and other related teachers as well as four students who went to Uganda to participate in the seminar.

At the symposium, Liu Guiyu spoke highly of the four intern students for leading the new trend of foreign internships. He also hoped that they would cherish opportunities for studying abroad, combining their professional knowledge with their positions, strengthening foreign language learning, and pay attention to foreign affairs. Wang Yongzhi hopes that the four students will be ready in all aspects of spirit, thinking, business, and life. They will improve their overall quality through international exchanges and enhance their competitiveness in employment. Besides, they should obey the coordination arrangements between the college and the company, love and help each other in the future. The four students expressed their expectation and yearning for the internship in Uganda. They appreciated the college for providing them with good internship opportunities and showed that they must successfully complete the internship task, wining glory for the college and living up to the expectations of the college leaders and teachers.

This is the first time since the establishment of East Africa (Uganda) International College to send foreign students to internships. It is a concrete action of the college’s “One Belt and One Road” initiative in innovation and practice. It will further improve students’ professional quality and professional practice ability, and deeply promote cooperation between schools and enterprises.
