About Go East

You(th) are the Future.

With the rapid changes in China and the world, it is essential for the younger generation to have a global perspective. While we look at the West, we should also have a balanced view by looking to the East, to find the bridge between the two worlds.

The Go East division (东游记), which literally means a Journey to the East in Chinese) is established under Business China to drive this purpose. We develop and execute programmes to nurture a group of Singapore-China Savvy talents, by building a unique platform for our youths to enhance their bilingual skills, understand the latest development and trends in China, and develop deeper links between Singapore and China, and beyond. This role will allow you to directly participate in fostering stronger bilingual, bicultural and international mindset and skills amongst our youth.

We work closely with partners including Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs), organisations and passionate individuals who share the same objectives of creating opportunities for our youth.
