On 20 March 2006, a one-day conference was held in Beijing that focused upon career planning and employment for students who are deaf and hard of hearing. The conference, organized by National-Tsukuba University of Technology in collaboration with Beijing Union University, drew representatives from PEN partner institutions. The program for the conference consisted of various sessions at which partner institutions presented papers as regards the career and employment circumstances for graduates from their institutions. The papers and presentations have been compiled into a document that is available as a PDF on the PEN WWW site. More than 40 people attended the conference.
