A matchmaking meeting on school-enterprise cooperation between Qidong High-tech Industrial Development Zone and Jiangsu Vocational Institute of Architectural Technology was held on July 29.

Liu Shengxian, general Party branch secretary of the Intelligent Manufacturing College of Jiangsu Vocational Institute of Architectural Technology, Qiu Wenning, dean of the college, as well as some entrepreneur representatives from Qidong High-tech Industrial Development Zone attended the symposium.

Qidong High-tech Industrial Development Zone has set goals to create a provincial-level high-tech development zone and develop industries in high-end equipment, high-end manufacturing, new medicine and new materials. It also aims to construct a model zone for high-tech industrial development in coastal regions and a pilot zone for rural revitalization and integration of urban and rural areas.

The Qidong development zone needs a large number of talents to achieve those goals. School-enterprise cooperation can solve college students' difficulties in finding employment, and it can also cultivate skilled talents for enterprises and promote the industrial development of the zone.

Jiangsu Vocational Institute of Architectural Technology is a province-owned public full-time college and a national model vocational college. According to Liu, the institute will carry out in-depth cooperation in joint construction of majors, students' practical experience in enterprises and scientific research.
