Training Programs
The Center draws on the expertise of its Associates and Council members and all units of the University to develop in conjunction with relevant Chinese institutions training programs for U.S. and Chinese officials and for employees of business and non-profit associations of all kinds. Several programs are now in place; a few are highlighted below. For more information, please contact the Center at 303.871.4474.
* Every Fall, the CCUSC conducts a twelve week Teacher Training Program for teachers from the Jiading District of Shanghai City. They attend classes focusing on American teaching methods/strategies and American culture.

* CCUSC also has a relationship with Peking and Renmin (People’s) Universities, wherein their English-speaking faculty members come to GSIS to teach courses in Chinese politics, China’s political economy, East Asian security issues, Sino-American relations and other topics.
As a part of CCUSC/DU’s ongoing relationship with the two schools, DU students and faculty have frequented the campuses of Peking and Renmin Universities. A number of GSIS students have done dissertation research or language training at these schools, and a number of DU faculty members have spent time teaching and doing research there as well. This will continue increase due in part to the April 2003 agreement with the School of International Studies at the Renmin University of China (SISRUC) to launch China’s first English-taught MA program of international studies in China in the fall of 2003.
* In cooperation with the China International Economic Relations Society, the CCUSC provides Human Resources Management Training. The first group of 20 professionals from the China Development Bank(CDB), including four Deputy Director Generals from the CDB Head Office and the Planning and Financing Department of the Ministry of Personnel and a number of Divisions Chiefs from the CDB Head Office and Branches across the country, arrived on November 1, 2003 for a week of training. The lecture topics for the HR Training Program included:
1. Survey and New Trends of HR / The Theory and Practices of HR in US
Enterprises focusing on financial institutions
2. Job Evaluation and Performance Management
3. Compensation Management
4. Benefit and Insurance Management
