Since 2014, SWUFE has launched the overseas training program of "Enhancing the International Competitiveness of Management Talents", which aims at enhancing the capacity of the university’s management personnel to work in cross-cultural settings and implement SWUFE’s core strategy of "Strengthening the university by talents" and "Deep Opening up". The university has sent various batches of study groups consisting of front-line management personnel to study and exchange abroad. At present, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, SWUFE has been working to build and improve the long-term mechanism of international training for management teams, adopting the combined model of online and offline events featuring "global participation" and "Local Internationalization" with the goal to enrich and develop the training program.
