13/10/2003 16:12
Shanghai will open its training mall to provide training programs and
professional certification services, according to officials with local training
authority cited in today's Shanghai Morning Post.
At yesterday's press
conference, officials with Shanghai Training Service Center for Needy
Professionals said the mall will make debut on December 6 where local people
could easily find training programs specifically catering to them.
The mall
launch is to meet the rising demand of local training seekers, according to the
center's dean Liu Yuhai.
He said "As the idea has been set up among locals
that learning is a lifetime course, training program has become the top choice
for the city's people to seek post-school education."
Amid the rising demand,
a boom of training programs have come up in the city, but many of them are of
poor quality, Liu said.
To help people obtain appropriate and good quality
training services, his center decided to open the mall-like fair for train
seekers a year ago.
Occupied an area of 32,000 square meters in Hanzhong
Building along the Hanzhong Road metro station, the mall mainly targets the
middle-to-high end training market.
More than 100 of the city's training
programs for needy professionals are also availed in the mall.
This weekends,
the center will hold its first promotion campaign for training programs in the
city planning museum.
