Report from our correspondent (Labor Daily's reporter: Guo Na) Yesterday, the inaugural meeting of the Yangtze River Delta Smart Culture, Tourism, and Wellness Education Alliance was held at the "Teacher Education Centre under the auspices of UNESCO." The Yangtze River Delta Smart Culture, Tourism, and Wellness Education Alliance was jointly established by nearly 70 vocational colleges and enterprises under the leadership of five higher vocational colleges in the Yangtze River Delta region, including Shanghai Urban Construction Vocational College, North Anhui Health Vocational College, Bozhou Vocational and Technical College, Wuxi Vocational Institute of Commerce, and Jiaxing Nanyang Polytechnic Institute.

    After its establishment, the alliance will engage in various forms of school-enterprise cooperation to enhance students' comprehensive qualities and employability. This includes: jointly building teaching resource libraries with vocational colleges and leading cultural tourism and wellness enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta, co-developing textbooks and practical projects, sharing expert resources between schools and enterprises, and ensuring talent cultivation plans and teaching content deeply align with industry needs; opening up internship and employment channels for students, sharing internship and training bases, and establishing an integrated "internship-employment-promotion" pathway, allowing students to gain experience in real enterprise environments and transition directly into employment. Additionally, the alliance will establish long-term school-enterprise collaboration mechanisms, encourage teachers to undertake practical training in enterprises to enhance their teaching capabilities, appoint enterprise experts to participate in developing talent cultivation plans, teach courses, or give lectures for students, and jointly apply for research projects, solve technical challenges faced by enterprises, and develop curriculum standards, thereby indirectly elevating the quality of student development.
