They total 23 activities which fall into 3 categories, namely, career guidelines, business starting guidelines and employment service. The career guidelines provide students with career planning tests and career consulting, which will help them to get a better and comprehensive idea of what they are interested in and accomplish the development of their career. The business starting guidelines provide training of “start your business” (SYB), conduct activities such as  “Entrepreneurs Symposium in Wanli University--- Being Professional Managers”, and Graduates’ Career Planning Competition, to arouse the passion and improve the ability of graduates to start their own business. The employment service provides the graduates with employment consulting and training in professional technique and other service so as to give the graduating students an effective and comprehensive help with their employment.

It is an all-embracing book about 50 representative privately-run enterprises and is written by the students with passion. The book provides complete material for our graduates to learn about the economy of the Yangtze River Delta  and the culture of privately-run enterprises and their requirements for human resources, thus pointing out the direction for the students to enter the society, the Yangtze River Delta and privately-run enterprises.
