On November 14, 2024, our school officially signed an agreement and unveiled the Industry-Education Integration Digital Intelligent Manufacturing Technology Center, jointly established with the Shanghai Innovation and Creation Center of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT). This collaboration aims to thoroughly implement the spirit of the 20th Central Committee’s Third Plenary Session, deepen industry-education integration, and promote the combination of vocational education with industrial practices to meet the demand for high-end technical and skilled talent in intelligent manufacturing and digital transformation.
The event was attended by Ma Jianchao, Director of the Vocational Education Division of the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission, Zheng Zhongbin, General Manager of CAICT’s Shanghai Innovation and Creation Center, Deputy Chief Engineers Qin Feng and Xu Dong, Yu Liping, General Manager of the Digital Industry Division, Zhou Sheng, Party Secretary of the school, Han Fang, Deputy Party Secretary and President, as well as Vice Presidents Yang Yiming and Zeng Xiping. Other relevant department heads from various organizations were also present.
Ma Jianchao expressed high recognition for the collaboration. He emphasized that by deepening industry-education integration, the school can better adjust and optimize its curriculum to meet the industry’s demand for high-quality technical talent. He particularly pointed out that the development of vocational education today relies on industry support. Enterprises should not only provide internship opportunities but also actively participate in the educational process, such as co-developing course standards that align with job requirements.
Looking ahead, Ma Jianchao set higher expectations for the collaboration. He hopes that through the partnership with the CAICT Innovation and Creation Center, resource sharing and coordination can be further strengthened, offering students more internship and training opportunities, especially in real corporate production environments. This will enable students to seamlessly transition into the workforce upon graduation, enhance their competitiveness, and contribute to the development of the intelligent manufacturing industry in Shanghai and across China.
In his speech, Zheng Zhongbin emphasized that this collaboration is not only a crucial initiative to deepen industry-education integration but also a key step in advancing intelligent manufacturing and digital transformation. He stated that the CAICT Innovation and Creation Center is committed to aligning industry demands with school resources, providing students with practical courses and training opportunities to cultivate high-quality technical talent. Moving forward, both parties will continue to collaborate deeply in curriculum design and technological research to drive progress in education and industry.
