    Under the terms of the agreement, student interns at
the Zhuhai Institute of Jilin University will work at
Achievo six to 10 months before graduation. The Software
Institute of Hunan Vocational College of Science and
Technology has also implemented a long term software
training program designed for Achievo projects in which
students will receive on-the-job training one to three
months before graduation. The Zhuhai Institute of Jilin
University is located in Zhuhai, a city in Guangdong
Province. The Software Institute of Hunan Vocational
College of Science and Technology is located in Changsha,
the capital city of Hunan Province.

    "Achievo is a well-known global company,"
said Wang Yuan Liang, principle of the Zhuhai Institute of
Jilin University. "Achievo has skillful people and a
very good development environment. This makes Achievo one
of the best practice bases we can choose for our students.
The agreement provides a practical way to train our
students that is specific and effective."

    "Some of our graduates have already begun working
at Achievo Jeyo, a division of Achievo in Guangzhou,
China," said Liu Wei, the administrator responsible
for student employment placement at the Software Institute
of Hunan Vocational College of Science and Technology.
"This is a win-win scenario. We want our students to
have quality workplaces at which to start their careers,
while Achievo needs qualified people to staff their
projects. We are looking forward to even more opportunities
to work with each other in additional project and skill
areas."

    "Securing talented people is first and foremost on
our minds," said Dr. Vincent Lin, general manager of
Achievo's Multinational Business Group. "Our growth
