◎Our reporter Guo Guozhong, Chen Xi, and Yang Lun
At the academician conference of the two academies and the 10th National Congress of the China Association for Science and Technology, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that “cultivating innovative talents is a long-term development plan for the country and the nation.” “We must pay more attention to the training of young talents, strive to create a group of top scientific and technological talents with world influence, stably support a group of innovative teams, and cultivate more high-quality technical and skilled talents, skilled craftsmen, and craftsmen from big countries.”
How to implement the spirit of General Secretary Jinping’s important speech? Why is it difficult for my country’s traditional talent training model to meet the needs of the development of high-tech industries? In recent years, what are the practices and successful experiences that are worth learning from in personnel training? On June 2, a reporter from Science and Technology Daily interviewed relevant government departments, universities, and business leaders.
Pay attention to practical demand orientation and transform the talent training model
At the “Jiangyin Digital Transformation Summit Forum” held a few days ago, experts believe that the biggest problem in my country’s strategic emerging industries and future industries is the serious shortage of high-level innovative talents and high-quality skilled talents, which has restricted important science and technology. The innovation of the field and the development of high-end industries must innovate the mode of talent training.
In the view of Zhao Zhijun, member of the Party Working Committee and Deputy Director of the Management Committee of Jiangyin National High-tech Zone, industrial upgrading and economic restructuring are accelerating, and the demand for technical talents in all walks of life is becoming more and more urgent. In particular, the integrated application of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, and big data puts forward newer and higher requirements for talent training.
“Now, the talents cultivated by universities are often not available to enterprises. This is a serious consequence of the traditional training thinking mode. Talent training in universities still remains in the’outsourcing style’, that is, I cultivate and manage them in schools. It will no longer be in charge if you leave the school gate. We must adjust the goal and form of talent training according to actual needs, and deepen the integration of production and education, transform from university training to co-education with the enterprise in the later stage, and enlarge the value of talents.” Tianjin University Economics and Management Dean Huo Baofeng said.
Hong Xiao, Dean of Changzhou Textile and Garment Vocational Technical College, told reporters that currently, in the training of high-skilled talents, there are mainly self-training of schools, school-enterprise cooperation, introduction of enterprises into schools, factory schools, group schools, school-run enterprises, and enterprise-run schools. Although the vocational education is diversified, the depth of school-enterprise cooperation is not enough due to the lack of corresponding guarantee mechanisms. It is difficult to meet the requirements of school students’ training and to meet the needs of enterprise employment. Seriously affect the in-depth cooperation between schools and enterprises.
How to solve these practical problems, so that the training of talents will be high-quality?
“The construction of new engineering is the leading force in the building of a strong education country. It is to cultivate future-oriented outstanding engineering and innovative talents, and its core point is to improve the ability of talent training.” Tianjin University Party Secretary Li Jiajun said that the next step of the development of new engineering should be based on standards. To make breakthroughs in all aspects such as structure, system, method, technology, curriculum, teaching materials, evaluation, etc., we must grasp the core point of comprehensively improving the talent training ability, pay attention to the training of multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary talents, and pay attention to the development of students’ innovation and entrepreneurial ability. Let the actual effect of the reform be truly reflected in the improvement of the quality of personnel training.
According to reports, Tianjin University is carrying out the implementation of the “Tianda Plan” for new engineering construction in a gradient and differentiated manner, gradually forming a top-down, bottom-up, two-way pattern of force, and taking the construction of new engineering as the leader. , And systematically promote the comprehensive reform of “three-dimensional education” and “five education simultaneously” talent training. This requires the government, universities, teachers, students, social forces, industry, and a number of related parties to build a new engineering education community and jointly promote it in a benign interaction.
Professor Zhang Xi, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and president of Jilin University, believes that colleges and universities should do everything possible to do a good job of talent introduction, make good use of various talent policies, and systematically introduce outstanding talents that meet national needs and discipline construction. Young teachers are the future of the school. It is necessary to break down barriers and build a stage for their growth and progress, encourage them to actively apply for various talent projects, carry out cutting-edge innovative research, and let the career successors pass on.
Break through training routines and provide talent support for self-reliance and self-reliance
From the perspective of the global manufacturing industry, how to make digital create value, create new manufacturing technologies, promote the transformation of innovation achievements, improve the level of technological and economic development, and promote the growth of talents’ lifetime value?
Focusing on the training of new engineering talents, Tianjin University took the lead in issuing the “Tianda Plan” for the construction of new engineering disciplines, integrating new liberal arts education with Chinese characteristics, multi-disciplinary engineering education and personalized professional education, and constructing a comprehensive range from engineering scientific discoveries to technological inventions. The chain’s engineering technology innovation talent training system, and the establishment of the first school-level guiding new engineering talent training platform-the future intelligent machine and system platform, is currently designing two school-levels, “Energy Storage Science and Engineering” and “Smart City” platform.
“We have also initiated the implementation of the’TPCP’ plan, which not only provides theoretical support for the construction of a new engineering talent training platform, but also provides a practical basis for new engineering theoretical research, and promotes the integration and innovation of new engineering education theory and new engineering education practice in order to achieve new breakthroughs. Plan.” Li Jiajun said.
Cui Jinggui, president of Jiangsu Institute of Technology, introduced that in recent years, Jiangsu Institute of Technology has taken the initiative to connect with high-end equipment manufacturing, energy conservation and environmental protection and other strategic emerging industries in Jiangsu Province by improving teachers’ teaching capabilities and strengthening scientific research team building. The school has carried out in-depth school-enterprise cooperation. To educate people, a group of application-oriented and innovative talents have been cultivated in the fields of green manufacturing and resource recycling.
Yang Huamin, president of Changchun University of Science and Technology, told reporters that since the signing of a comprehensive strategic cooperation agreement between Changchun University of Science and Technology and Changchun New District last year, the two sides have cooperated to build an employment practice base for college students, and set up a “new district scholarship” according to the standard of an additional 500,000 yuan per academic year. 4 key corporate campus tours and special “dual selection meetings” have been carried out, and more than 300 Changchun University of Science and Technology graduates have been introduced to the new district for entrepreneurship and employment, effectively meeting the needs of enterprises for employment.
“We will deepen school-enterprise cooperation, accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and strive to transform scientific and technological innovation advantages into discipline advantages, professional advantages, and development advantages of innovative talents, and make Changchun University of Science and Technology‘s due contribution to my country’s high-level scientific and technological self-reliance. “Yang Huamin said.
