This session begins with a trip to the beautiful countryside of Beijing. Students take part in outdoor exercises and competitions to get to know fellows and develop team building skills. The overnight trip provides students the chance to get to know fellow students, as well as develop the team building skills necessary for the MBA program.

The jump start training program gives students the opportunity to compete in case studies, business simulations and stretches their entrepreneurship skills. It is also during this time that a MIT lecture assists students on how to develop the tools and methodology to studying business school case studies. Students begin to learn the skills necessary for their future success at SEM and in their future careers.                  
 
One of the most popular programs offered during this time is the TechMark Case Competition. This competition shapes and refines the student’s holistic understanding of business operations and sharpens the student’s business acumen. It is an exciting two day event with a comprehensive business focus, which allows teams to practice market analytics, financial modeling, R&D management and many other skills that will be continue to be developed throughout the MBA program.
