At the subsequent symposiums, both sides held in-depth discussions on topics such as talent cultivation, curriculum development, internships and employment, and university-industry-research collaboration.
Dean Ding Zhihua introduced the School’s disciplinary strengths, academic programs, talent development model, and graduate profiles. He emphasized the importance of aligning academic training with industry demands and expressed hope to strengthen communication with enterprises. He also called for closer cooperation in internship programs and job placements, aiming to cultivate more high-quality, application-oriented talents who meet the needs of both the job market and society.

During the discussions, consensus was reached on building internship and training bases, co-hosting recruitment events, and other practical cooperation efforts. Both parties agreed that enhanced university-enterprise collaboration would allow for resource sharing and complementarity, ultimately improving talent development and enterprise competitiveness. Such partnerships would also open up broader career development paths for graduates and support higher-quality employment outcomes.
This visit exemplifies the School’s proactive approach to current employment challenges and its commitment to serving enterprise development through deeper university-enterprise cooperation. It reinforced ties with local businesses and expanded career opportunities for students, laying a solid foundation for graduate employment.
