The University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span><\/a> rolled out the red carpet for 25 students from China and opened a new chapter in international programs at UH<\/abbr>. <\/p>\n

The students are computer science professionals from Guangdong Province who will begin a training course called Best Practices for Implementing Integrated Information Systems. <\/p>\n

The joint project aims to train students to build state-of-the-art social protection systems in China to help migrant workers from inner provinces more easily access their social benefits such as health, disability and unemployment benefits from their home provinces. <\/p>\n

The three-week course is being funded by Guangdong Province and sponsored by the World Bank. <\/p>\n

The project received the approval of the president of the World Bank and former Premier Wen Jiabao, and has received wide media attention in China, where the ceremony on November 3 was broadcast via Skype. <\/p>\n

China selected the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> as the most appropriate place to seek this training and cooperation. <\/p>\n

UH<\/abbr> Mānoa’s Outreach College<\/a>, International Programs is coordinating the course. The Information and Computer Science Department<\/a> (ICS) is providing the lecturers. <\/p>\n

In their remarks, university leaders encouraged the students to not only learn from the expertise being provided by ICS<\/abbr>, but to also interact with students, faculty and staff to learn about Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> and its diversity. <\/p>\n

The university hopes its educational partnerships with China continue to thrive as it strives to create opportunities and transform the lives of students, families and their communities in Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> and around the world. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
