On the morning of May 8th, the international student team from the International Business School of Beijing Foreign Studies University went to Shenzhen Shokz Co., Ltd. to participate in the Immersion Week program for international students' practical learning in China in the spring semester of 2024.

At 2 pm on that day, the students arrived at the headquarters of Shokz on time. Guided by two professionals from the Human Resources Department, they entered the company's R&D building, officially kicking off this meaningful visit and learning journey. The staff introduced to the students in detail the company's historical development, unique corporate culture, extensive product line, and outstanding patented achievements. They also showcased several innovative bone-conduction headphone products. In addition, the students had a chance to experience the excellent sound quality of Shokz headphones and deeply felt their innovative applications in the hearing aid field.

During the visit, the students also toured the gym and rooftop vegetable garden within the company's building. These facilities not only demonstrate Shokz's attention to the physical and mental health of its employees, but also reflect the company's commitment to green and environmentally friendly principles. Additionally, the staff introduced the various club activities and diverse employee welfare programs within the company, providing the students with a deeper understanding of Shokz's corporate culture.

After the visit, the students returned to the first-floor lobby. Here, the staff provided them with more detailed explanations, including the company's business scope, market layout, and future development plans. The students expressed that this visit gave them a clearer understanding of Shokz Co., Ltd. and the development trends of the technology industry.

Finally, the event moved into a question-and-answer session. The students actively raised questions and engaged in deep exchanges about the company's development, technological innovation, and other aspects. The staff members of Shokz patiently answered their questions and shared valuable experiences and insights with them. In a pleasant atmosphere, everyone posed for a group photo as a keepsake, marking the successful conclusion of the visit.

This event not only provided the students with an opportunity to have close contact with a technology company, but also allowed them to deeply appreciate the importance of technological innovation and corporate culture. This visit will positively impact the students' learning and growth, and also lay a solid foundation for cooperation and exchanges between Beijing Foreign Studies University and Shenzhen Shokz Co., Ltd.
