On the original intention of running a school

"Help solve the problem of applied and skilled talents in China's manufacturing industry"

Beijing News: The announcement of He Ren Foundation mentioned that * * * will explore a new mode of running state-owned universities. Did you propose the establishment of Fuyao University of Science and Technology or the Fujian Provincial Government?

Cao: I took the initiative to raise the issue of running a school with the Fujian Provincial Party Committee and Government. The provincial party Committee and government are very supportive of this matter, and provincial leaders have met many times to discuss the issue of running schools.

Beijing News: How did you come up with the idea of initiating the establishment of a university?

Cao: Actually, I have been planning it for several years. The inspiration for running a school comes from many aspects:

First, at present, there is a problem that senior management talents are cut off in China manufacturing industry. In recent years, many manufacturing enterprises are looking for senior engineers and factory management cadres everywhere. Some senior engineers in our company, such as quality engineers, sales engineers and design engineers, have been poached by other enterprises. The poaching of senior manufacturing talents leads to the soaring cost of enterprises, which is also unfavorable to the industrial development of our whole country. At the same time, another phenomenon is that many college graduates can't find jobs and have no place to find jobs. I just want to run a university, recruit excellent undergraduate graduates, train them to become the specialized craftsman-level management talents needed by China manufacturing enterprises, and help China manufacturing industry solve the problem of applied and technical skilled talents.

Second, at present, the mode of training talents in our domestic universities is standardized, and our domestic universities tend to emphasize the virtual economy and ignore the real economy, which is also a result of our universities learning from the United States after the reform and opening up. At present, many universities are keen to train talents for the virtual economy, and their disciplines focus on the Internet, finance, MBA and so on. However, some disciplines that train manufacturing talents can't keep up with market demand and industrial development requirements, and some high-end talents that manufacturing really needs have no place to train. At present, China's manufacturing industry and China's economy are in an important stage of transformation and upgrading. Failure to keep up with the training of manufacturing talents will affect the transformation and upgrading of our manufacturing structure and economic structure.

Third, the school is also inspired by the German education model. Some time ago, I went to Germany and visited technical university of munich and Aachen University of Technology. The way they train undergraduates and postgraduates is different from ours. I envy them for running schools like that. I think there is much to learn from the German educational model, and the talents trained in Germany are very useful. For example, professors employed by German universities all have practical experience in factories. A friend of mine applied for a university professor in Germany, but he was not hired because he had no factory experience. In German universities, experts and professors with factory experience will teach students how to do experiments and how to put theoretical knowledge into practice, so that students can get started directly after graduation. Here, when college students enter the factory after graduation, the company needs several years to train skilled workers, which is not needed in Germany.
