Making an investment for the future

Language lessons help professionals find better career opportunities

Before going to a well-known foreign English training center two years ago, the-then 30-year-old Zhou Kai was always embarrassed when anyone, especially a job interviewer, asked him to describe his English proficiency.

"I thought I would never be able to use English fluently. A friend of mine encouraged me to go to a training center, saying that it will be very helpful for my future career development. I also used to have a lot of customers from multinational companies, and the need to improve my English was becoming ever-more urgent," says Zhou.
