We'd like to announce an exciting new collaboration between the Washington State China Relations Council (WSCRC) www.wscrc.org and one of its member companies — Hodge International Advisors www.hodge-ia.com — experts on cross-cultural business skills. WSCRC — together with Hodge International Advisors — will soon be bringing customized training programs to WSCRC members to help them build business and trade relations with China more effectively. WSCRC and Hodge International Advisors have already collaborated on executive training programs with Microsoft, which Microsoft praised for their effectiveness.

Joe Borich, Executive Director of WSCRC, noted these programs are an excellent resource for members who can leverage their Council membership to their business advantage. Services include training on Chinese business etiquette, communication, and negotiations as well as cultural coaching for executives relocating to China, or Chinese employees who are on assignment in the United States . Cross-cultural training is another example of how the WSCRC brings valuable knowledge and services to its membership and the business community.

Discover how cross-cultural training can help you build more effective trade relations and international partnerships in China.
