3. Forum Horizon Chine
China Horizon Forum was founded by the Association amicale Franco-Chinoise de
ParisTech (AFCP) in China in 2008. The forum aims to build up a mutual platform
promoting the exchange of tripartite information and human resources for industrial
parks, enterprises and exceptional talents between China and France. Up to date, it
has been successfully held 10 sessions.
Based on our successful experiences, we have carefully planned various activities
with content-rich themes, which enable the forum to:
 Provide a sound and dynamic platform for information exchange
 Showcase the corporate image and promote organizational culture
 Stand in a better position to explore the talents from respective areas of expertise
in line with the needs of enterprise development, and seek the excellent qualities
of Chinese student elite: smart, hardworking, humility, rigorous, etc.
 Provide services for exceptional Chinese students or graduates with a simulation
of interviews and improve their personal resume; and assist Chinese student
looking for internship / work opportunities in France or China.
Over the past decade, we have become one of the largest platforms for multinational
recruitment in France. Since 2008, more than 40 well-known Chinese and French
enterprises over 3,500 outstanding French engineers school or business school
students participated in our forum. With the increasing influence of the forum
continues to expand, we have received more than 400 CVs from the 10th "China
Horizon" forum in 2017.
During the ten years period, the forum met with high-quality partners, served a large
number of Sino-French elites, and harvested a wide range of publicity. We will be
committed to attract more participants and companies and we have more confidence
to successfully hold the 11th China Horizon recruitment forum in 2018.
We sincerely look forward to your participation in this wonderful forum at Télécom

11. To better understand the needs of participating students in the forum,
we conducted a questionnaire on Chinese students in France.
Through the analysis of the questionnaire one can see that Chinese
students have a great need of guide to find stage and work. FHC can
provide an effective platform for students and companies to exchange
information.
Of these respondents, 57.9% of respondents require 6 months of
training, 21.1% of respondents must find internship or working hours
lasting more than one year. It should be noted that 100% of
respondents stated that they will participate in this recruitment forum
and hope that, as part of this event, better understand the company,

63.2% of respondents are willing to participate in research and
development, followed by strong demand for the market and finance
(36.8% and 31.6% respectively), candidates for logistics and the
design were 21.1% and 15.8%.
In a survey of respondents' personal job search we found that
respondents were more concerned with personal career
development and had a strong demand for social relationships than
working conditions of the company. More than 90% of respondents
believe they are looking for internships in France, lack of
appropriate information channels, Forum Horizon China can
provide them. At the same time, FHC also provided effective
support to the participating companies, more than 90% of

For the 11th China Horizon Forum in 2018, we are dedicated to

we are planning to organize more activities to reinforce the
communication and exchange between these two parties. We are
confident that both job seekers and companies will benefit from our
