On December 4, the 2023 First Hainan International Forum on Innovation and Development of Higher Education opened in Sanya, Hainan. The event, hosted by Sanya University, attracted leaders from industry associations from all over the world, presidents and scholars from universities at home and abroad, as well as leaders of Fortune 500 companies such as Geely Holding Group and CATL to participate in the development of higher education integration and cross-border development.
Sanya University is the organizer of this forum and is a highly competitive private comprehensive university in China. What many people may not know is that such a school is funded and built by Geely Holding Group, a Fortune 500 company. In recent years, Geely Group has not only made great achievements in the automotive industry, but also in the field of education. At present, Geely Education has trained more than 180,000 graduates. From the perspective of employment, more than 80% of the graduates have joined enterprises in various related industries across the country, setting an example for the training model of the integration of industry and education in colleges and universities.
Geely Education has previously determined the goal of "linking leading enterprises in advantageous industries" to carry out the integration of industry and education "high enough and deep enough". Focusing on the needs of industrial enterprises, Sanya College has successively established Geely New Energy and Intelligent Vehicle Industry College and Green New Energy Alcohol and Hydrogen Industry College. At the same time, more reforms and innovations have been made around "thousands of people and thousands of faces" education. For example, by increasing the teaching module of digital courses, building a virtual teaching and research department based on digital technology, popularizing Python, big data and artificial intelligence technology and methods among young and middle-aged teachers, and making full use of high-quality platforms such as core education, the digital construction of education is systematically carried out.
In addition, Geely Group provides students with all-round and personalized Xi learning resources and support with advanced education technology and advanced education platforms. For example, on December 3 this year, Geely Holding Group's Innovation Center donated the NexSight software to the New Energy and Intelligent Connected Vehicle Academy. During this forum, a short interview was also conducted with students of Sanya College, in which the students said that the professional employment prospects offered by the school are broad, and the integration of industry and education is more like an on-campus Xi, through different projects, to improve students' practical ability.
It can be seen from the teaching achievements of Sanya College that Geely's efforts to create an education model of "thousands of people, thousands of faces" have been fruitful, through flexible adjustment of talent training programs, guided by market demand, breaking the traditional teaching framework, and using a more flexible curriculum system, so that each student can get the most suitable educational resources and learning Xi methods.
At the moment of college education reform, Geely's direction of running a school is the integration of industry and education3On the basis of version 0, through the way of school-enterprise cooperation, we will continue to innovate, provide diversified education, establish more connections with colleges and universities around the world, and provide students with a better and broader education platform.
The reform of higher education has become one of the topics of particular concern to the society and the education sector, and it is not difficult to find that the employment environment in the past two years is not difficult to find that innovative compound talents are more in demand than traditional academic talents. It is precisely because of this that enterprises should play a leading role in promoting the development of higher education.
