Chinese officials to visit UD, Sinclair
China is turning to Dayton for advice on its higher education system.
A delegation of career counselors from leading universities in China will visit both the University of Dayton and Sinclair Community College on Thursday and Friday, Oct. 29-30.
The delegation includes nine Chinese college administrators and counselors, and three Chinese Ministry of Education officials.
The visit was arranged by the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations, a nonpartisan, nonprofit educational organization based in New York City.
The delegation’s two-week trip includes stops in four U.S. cities, including Dayton, Dallas, San Francisco and Washington D.C.
Sinclair will be the only community college that the delegation will visit during its trip, according to college officials.
The Chinese delegation is interested in learning about university-level career counseling and workforce development in the U.S. As access to higher education has expanded in China in recent years, a growing number of college graduates are seeking employment, according to the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations.
Sinclair will host a meeting on Thursday morning between the Chinese career counselors and a number of Sinclair officials. The group is interested in discussing career counseling, job training in the U.S. and strengthening the transition from postsecondary education to employment, according to Sinclair officials.
The delegation is scheduled to visit UD’s campus on both Thursday and Friday afternoons. Topics of discussion will include how counselors are educated and how career centers support students interested in becoming entrepreneurs, according to UD officials.
While in Dayton, the delegation also is scheduled to visit the Job Center and the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force.

….and while the Communists that have partially embraced Capitalism are here, ask them where the 70 million bodies that thier master killed are buried…oh…right…politically incorrect and possibly a discussion at a later date, right? We’re all here for “education”. Make sure you point out the MIG 15 that sits in the AF Museum during the tour. Explain to the totalitarians why the pilot “defected”. Ask if they want to admit they’re killing Tibet. Hell…take them to the Oakwood club, get em’ drunk, and they’ll make you think that we’re all friends forever! Novices. Idiots.
