What’s the story? Meet Jin Shuai. Jin Shuai travelled 5000 miles from China to Germany to do his master’s degree. With the Siemens Advanced Program he is living the adventure of studying abroad while acquiring work-experience in Germany and China as well. Going the long way is something Jin Shuai experienced in various contexts: Coming from a small town in the Chinese province Hunan, the nearest major city like Shanghai is about 600 miles away. So getting an international education requires a big effort. An effort Jin Shuai was more than ready to make. At the Siemens Advanced Program the 26–year-old is securing quality in manufacturing at the Siemens site Erlangen, Germany. Based on his study background as an electrical engineer, Jin considers manufacturing as the key part of supply chain management: “For me it ensures the brand ‘Made in Germany’ which is associated with high quality.” One thing that especially attracted Jin to the Siemens Advanced Program was the diversity and international orientation. This enables him to return to China during his assignment abroad and use his recently acquired work experience to write a new chapter of his success story. 3 Your path to a unique career.
