Executive Training Programs For Tomorrow's Leadership
As part of the China Center, the Mingda Institute is designed to host advanced executive training course for mid-career professionals from China. In 2001, it was certified by the State Administration of Foreign Expert Affairs of China to conduct Chinese overseas training programs. It offers executive courses not only in various academic fields, but also in U.S. culture, values, etiquette, protocol, corporate and government culture, and management. The training programs at the Mingda Institute build cultural and business bridges between Minnesota and China and foster increased exchange between organizations and individuals in economic, governmental, academic, and civic sectors. To ensure the success of the programs, the China Center works closely with faculty members at the University and with professional experts in Minnesota companies and government agencies at all levels.
Training programs can be customized to suit the needs of the participants and the institutions they represent. Past programs have included course-work in the areas of government affairs and public administration, business administration, agricultural and rural development, science and technology policy management and development, educational policy development and higher education administration, environmental science, conservation policy and sustainable economic development, law, public health administration, social development, human resources, leadership development, and others. In addition, training groups also visit local government agencies, businesses, and other relevant organizations. These visits have helped past participants to establish collaborative relationships with various institutions and open new channels for trade and future exchange in their professions.
Different approaches are employed throughout the training, such as traditional classroom lectures by leading faculty, lectures by government and business experts, case studies, and field research. A typical training program will include the following components:
Training programs are designed to help trainees understand American society, acquire knowledge, broaden horizons, make friends, and promote cooperation.
