Financial wizards
Employers usually take a two-way approach to train workers. At ANZ, the company identifies opportunities for talented professionals from other parts of the world to spend time in China on medium-term projects, at the same time providing comprehensive on-the-job training programs and cross-border assignments for local employees.
Further complicating matters is the fact that the financial industry in China is expanding fast, fueled by high economic growth. Experts believe this makes it hard for young people to find a stable career path.
According to Xu Mingqi, a professor at the Institute of World Economy at Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, the city suffers from the lack of an open and transparent financial market, a factor he considers more important than its income tax policies or other soft power factors.
"The government should not interfere with the market by adopting administrative methods, such as introducing a preferential tax income. The flow of talented people depends heavily on the market. When Shanghai's financial market is as open and developed as that of New York and Hong Kong, skilled financial workers would surely swarm to the city without additional incentives," Xu said.
The professor also pointed out that the biggest challenge for Shanghai now is not the lack of financial wizards in specific fields, but rather talented people with strategically innovative thinking and professional experience, who could help the government plan and design the financial system.
Academia has sensed the problem. According to Lu Xiongwen, dean of the school of management at Shanghai-based Fudan University, that is exactly why the school introduced two finance-related master programs last year, in cooperation with Princeton University and the University of Los Angeles in the US.
"Shanghai has a long way to go before it has an open financial market. The two programs are structured to prepare financial talent - people who could help design Shanghai's financial market system in the future,,wholesale gucci shoes," Lu said. He added that one-third of the course would not be applicable to Shanghai's financial market because of policy restrictions.

Most Americans still want US dominance in space
Most Americans still want US dominance in space
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.,steeler jerseys cheap, - Most Americans still think their country should play a dominant role in space exploration, a new poll showed on Thursday as the 30-year US space shuttle program came to an end.
The national survey released by CNN confirmed, however, that enthusiasm about the space race had declined considerably since the early 1960s and the glorious run-up to the Apollo Moon landings.
The poll was made public hours after Thursday's landing of space shuttle Atlantis, which drew a line under the end of the American shuttle program. This has raised widespread doubts about future US dominance in space.
According to the poll,,timberland boots sale, half of all Americans believe the end of the shuttle program was bad for the United States,,starcraft 2 Promotion,,nfl throwback jerseys from china, since it left the superpower with no immediate program to push ahead with human spaceflight.
Sixty-four percent of respondents said it was important for the United States to be ahead of Russia and other countries in space exploration. But only 38 percent ranked space leadership as "very important," down from 51 percent in a similar poll conducted in 1961, CNN said.
The latest poll was carried out by CNN/ORC International.
China, among other countries, is making major investments in space. With the retirement of the American shuttles, the United States will now depend on Russia to ferry its astronauts to the International Space Station.
Three-quarters of participants in the telephone poll said they wanted the United States to develop a new spacecraft capable of carrying US astronauts back into space.
But at a time of dwindling government resources and concern about a permanent decline in the US economy, most of those polled said they would prefer that private enterprise rather than a government program develop the new spacecraft.

Botafogo's fans plead for dismissal of head coach
Botafogo's fans plead for dismissal of head coach
One day after Botafogo's embarrassing 2-1 loss to the 2011 Brazilian Championship's worst team Atletico-PR, fans are demanding the dismissal of head coach Caio Junior.
Botafogo has gone four games without winning. Over the team's previous four games, Botafogo has lost twice and tied twice.
The request of Caio Junior's firing tallied second among Tweets in Brazil, trailing only the statements regarding the death of musician Amy Winehouse.
Early prospects to fill the position of Caio Junior include Cuca. However, Botafogo's general manager Anderson Barros has a bitter relationship with the coach and is likely to overlook the possibility of his hiring despite Botafogo's fans empathy for the coach.
Caio Junior was signed to lead Botafogo in March of 2011. An official decision by club president Mauricio Assumpcao is expected to be revealed on Monday regarding the permanence or removal of Caio Junior as the club's head coach.
Currently, Botafogo stands in eighth place with 16 points.
