Interview With President Zheng Weidong Of Zhejiang Textile And Fashion College

In his report on the work of the government, Premier Li Keqiang first mentioned the need to expand enrollment for 1 million Vocational Colleges in 2019. After that, all localities responded. It is reported that in the recruitment of millions of students in higher vocational colleges, Zhejiang Textile and Fashion College combined with the needs of regional industrial development and the positioning of the industry characteristics, provided precise docking and customized plans and services for the expansion of enrollment, and identified four modern market demand, such as modern textile technology, dyeing and finishing technology, knitting technology and knitted garments, clothing and apparel design, and the shortage of skilled talents and high quality of employment. At present, the school has not yet completed the enrollment, and all the work of expanding enrollment is in an orderly manner.

Recently, President Zheng Weidong accepted an online interview in Zhejiang.

Q: how do we see the expansion of the higher vocational education?

Zheng Weidong: first of all, we must have a sober understanding. It is not in the traditional educational work report of the government work report, but in the part of "stabilizing and expanding employment". Obviously, the expansion of enrollment is 1 million, not from the perspective of education, but also from the macro overall situation of the country, from the perspective of service industry and employment promotion.

As a fashion vocational college with characteristics of textile and garment industry, Zhejiang Textile and Fashion College should not only consider how to make more young people acquire skills to achieve their life value, but also consider how to actively connect with the fashion trillions industry in Zhejiang, butt up the construction of Ningbo's "246" trillion level industrial clusters, serve Ningbo, Zhejiang, and the textile and garment industry, help relieve local employment pressure and help the industry solve the shortage of highly skilled talents.

Therefore, the deployment of school expansion must focus on this goal. For example, the expansion of the professional choice should focus on the demand for skilled and skilled personnel in Zhejiang and Ningbo's fashion textile and garment industry. We must select professional enrollment that is urgently needed by the industry and enterprises, get a good job, and have career development space in the future, so as to prevent blind enrollment expansion of low cost professionals.

Q: in the face of the diversification and diversification of the enrollment expansion, how can Zhejiang Textile Vocational College guarantee the quality of education through teaching reform?

Zheng Weidong: expansion must not be sacrificed at the expense of quality. The quality standard of personnel training can not be reduced. Under the premise of strengthening the construction of teaching staff and teaching resources, whether our laid-off workers, veterans or migrant workers, our schools must be responsible for quality. Every one who comes to school to learn, we have the responsibility to cultivate well, and ultimately can be recognized and welcomed by enterprises.

In the face of the diversity of students brought by the expansion of higher vocational education, there are graduating and non permanent, non employed, different age groups, and different degree of enrollment. These require us to provide diversified ways to grow and grow, and we must reform the mode of talent cultivation. Through the implementation of the "dual education" mode of school enterprise cooperation, the school adopts flexible teaching mode such as flexible educational system, separate class arrangement and tailored teaching plan, so as to improve the pertinence, adaptability and effectiveness of personnel training.

For example, the school sends the order of personnel training to Ningbo's local school enterprise cooperation textile and garment enterprises, and jointly organizes propaganda with Kang Saini group, Taiping bird group, Ningbo Zhongxin Wool Textile Group Co., Ltd., Ningbo elite Holding Group Co., Ltd. and Ningbo Guangyuan Textile Science and Technology Co., Ltd., and directly recommends excellent employees, technology research manager and workshop director to register for examination. The two sides agreed on how to combine the needs of enterprises, personalize the training plan and implement teaching together.

In addition to local enterprises in Ningbo, schools also provide orientated services for textile enterprises in Hangzhou, Jiaxing and Quzhou provinces. For the Zhejiang holy mountain group and Zhejiang Jiaming Holdings Limited, the school enterprise cooperation training plan was tailored to provide production site registration services for enterprises. Enterprises are not only brought in by the executives themselves to take part in the enrollment expansion test, but also the incentive and tuition reimbursement methods within the enterprise, which effectively mobilize the enthusiasm of the employees. A group of technical experts participated in the registration process, including a group of key staff members with skill level certificates in line with the conditions of exemption from entrance examination. Schools and enterprises will further improve the sharing of teachers and joint training programs, schools will be regularly sent to the door.

Q: since the purpose of the expansion of this higher vocational education is to stabilize and expand employment, what can Ningbo's local and industrial development provide and protect?

Zheng Weidong: This is the unique advantage of our school. Ningbo is a famous Chinese clothing city. The fashion textile and garment industry is one of the "246" hundred billion industrial clusters in Ningbo. The international influence of the local fashion and textile industry, which is dominated by textile and clothing, is constantly increasing. This provides the best conditions for the full employment of graduates, high-quality employment and career sustainable development. We aim at the fashion textile and garment industry that serves Ningbo, or we can serve Ningbo by serving the fashionable textile and garment industry. The school serves the local and service industries.

Ningbo, as the birthplace of "Hong Bang tailor", today, on the basis of inheriting traditional skills, integrates elements of technology, green and fashion into the construction of world-class textile and garment industry system and the construction of famous fashion industry cities. From this point of view, the expansion of recruitment is an opportunity for the textile and Clothing Institute to respond quickly and accurately to Ningbo's "246" 100 billion industrial cluster and serve the Zhejiang fashion trillions of industries. The textile and Clothing Institute is also more confident that it will strive to become the most complete, most thorough and precise Vocational College in the service area of fashion textile and apparel industry chain, and strive to become the most characteristic school recognized by local industry and government departments and recognized by society, students and parents.
