High School: China Youth Business League (CYBL) in-school training session

On Sep.18th, Mr. Tillman Huett, the co-director of China Youth Business League (CYBL) came to SHSID to give a training session to students who would take part in a competition in October. This time the topic is finance. He started with a question for students: “Do you know what happened in global finance during 2008-2009?” He then went on to some basic concepts based on the global financial crisis. This included the role of banks, structured finance, credit rating agencies and securitization, etc. Though these are not covered in high school courses, through simple and vivid illustration and examples, students quickly understood and grasped these basic concepts. During the training, they listened carefully and answered questions actively, showing great interest and confidence tlfor this competition. At the end, Tillman briefly introduced the schedule and contents of this competition, including business training, elective model learning, case analysis, and case presentation.

CYBL was established in 2014 and is an educational platform for high school students to learn more about the world of business. Through a complete American style mode of teaching business, it aims to evaluate and develop high school students’ business talents and leadership abilities and arouses great potential for these abilities. It provides typical case analysis and financial knowledge to challenge students in a relevant manner, deepens team spirit and improve students’ business communication skills. Meanwhile, the academic advisors focus more on business environment simulations and true cases in competitions to let students improve their critical thinking skills.

So far, CYBL hosts competitions on the regional (both spring and autumn seasonal competitions) and national levels in China. Each year, it also invites tutors from top universities, home and abroad, and experts in different industries to give lectures and trainings for students, as well as being the judges of the competition. This year, the Shanghai autumn tournament will be held on Oct. 13th to 14th.
