Description

Deloitte China is committed to making a clear and positive difference to our community through our inclusive approach. As we grow and develop our business, we also help our local communities to grow and develop by reinvesting an appropriate portion of our firm's knowledge, skills and resources into the priority needs of China which we deem to be education and the environment.

We are here to share some of our education and skills building programs in China, and one of which is our Village Adoption Program in Yunnan, a six-year project jointly implemented by Deloitte China and Lingnan University since 2007 to support underserved rural villages in China through academic research, corporate social responsibility and voluntary services. In this project, we also aims to provide learning opportunities for university students from Hong Kong and Yunnan to enhance their academic learning and leadership skills through applying knowledge to service and utilizing Deloitte staff as mentors.

We see education as the most significant catalyst for sustainable change for the better. Through different programs and channels reaching out to young generation, we hope to provide learning equality to students in underserved communities, unleash their potentials and develop their skills to become better and responsible future leaders.
