One of the key initiatives under this collaboration is the talent development program focused on information and data for the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Supported by the China Scholarship Council (CSC), this high-level bilateral educational partnership and international organization internship project has been jointly developed by GDUFS and SKEMA. Since its launch in 2022, the School of English for International Business at GDUFS has led the OECD program, sending 22 students to SKEMA to pursue a second master’s degree. Among these students, 15 received scholarships from the CSC, and 7 were supported by GDUFS’s scholarship. As of now, 11 students have completed or are currently undertaking internships at international organizations, 3 students are in the process of securing international internships, and 8 students are pursuing their second master’s degree in France, with plans to intern at international organizations upon graduation.
