You can choose to receive 1-1 advice from a top mentor during any of Sense China’s programs. Mentoring sessions allow you to reflect on specific cases and find out how they relate to your own situation.
Your mentor will help you find answers to questions that are key to running a successful business in China. Each mentor has a personal field of expertise, so we urge you to carefully examine the individual mentor profiles before making a choice.
The price for mentoring sessions is determined between you and the mentor. A financial subsidy is available in certain cases.
