The Australia-China young professionals initiative (ACYPI) is the premier platform for young professionals to engage with the Australia-China relationship. Through regular events held across Australia and China, we seek to:
- Connect young professionals to significant commercial, political and academic leaders.
- Provide professional networking opportunities across sectors.
Offer career development training seminars and workshops.
Since ACYPI’s establishment in December 2010, thousands of young professionals have attended ACYPI events across both Australia and China. We now have over 3,000 members actively engaged across 6 City Chapters in Australia and 4 City Chapters in China. ACYPI is the single largest young professional organisation in the Australia-China space.
Through our initiatives, we aim to promote people-to-people exchange and cultivate cross-cultural literacy among young professionals in Australia and China to help their decision-making as future leaders across sectors.
