Dynamic collaboration with the American Chamber of Commerce in Serbia

The International Faculty is happy to announce a dynamic collaboration with the American Chamber of Commerce in Serbia. The two parties joined their forces aspiring to organise educational activities and promote quality education.

In the frame of this cooperation two educational activities have already been launched and will be running throughout the academic year: the 2016 AmChamps Class and the Sheffield AmCham Insights.

Educational Partner of the 2016 AmChamps Programme

This year the International Faculty will be acting as Educational Partner of the ingenious AmChamps programme run by the American Chamber of Commerce in Serbia. Participants of the AmChamps Class 2016 -23 talented young students and 23 junior managers of Amcham member companies - will work in pairs to develop practical business skills in a mentor-mentee relationship. The programme will be completed in three rounds.

As Educational Partner the International Faculty will follow the progress of the competing teams, offer support and deliver seminars as part of their training. At the end of the programme a series of scholarships will be offered the to the winning and finalist teams by the International Faculty, CITY College.

Dr Nikolaos Dimitriadis, Development Director of our Executive Development Institute addressed a short welcome at the opening event of this year’s AmChamps class that took place 27 January in Belgrade.

Sheffield AmCham Insights

Our cooperation with the American Chamber of Commerce in Serbia has another strand namely, the ‘Sheffield AmCham Insights’.

The Sheffield AmCham Insights is an Expert Seminar Series delivered to the AmCham members as part of their vocational training. Two seminars have already been delivered with great success, the first by Dr Dimitriadis and the second with Dr Alexandros Psycholgios, Lecturer at our Executive MBA programme.

The University of Sheffield International Faculty, CITY College, is very proud for this new, very promising cooperation with the American Chamber of Commerce in Serbia which is in line with its aspiration to work towards connecting academia with the industry through strong alliance with top companies and organization in the region of South East and Eastern Europe.

We would like to thank Amcham, and especially its passionate educational team, for the excellent start of our collaboration.
