Neusoft, one of China's leading software developers, started an advanced IT professional training program in the port city of Northeast China's Liaoning Province.
Launched by Neusoft and Shenyang-based Northeastern University, the branch of the Northeastern University Postgraduate School will provide more than 200 high-level IT professionals, mostly for foreign-funded firms in the city, said Neusoft CEO Liu Jiren.
Liu said Neusoft is seeking cooperation with foreign partners in the industry-based training (IBT) program.
Joint laboratories and research topics are being set up in Neusoft Institute while scholarships are provided by foreign-funded companies.
Market-orientated future technologies such as electronic platforms for vehicles and mobile phones are among the training curricula, Liu said.
