Inner Mongolia college builds full-chain internship, employment system
Amid the drive for high-quality vocational education, the Inner Mongolia Electronic Information Vocational College in North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region is seeking to establish a full-chain internship and employment system.
With a focus on pre-assigned internship positions, embedded skills training, and continuous career development, the college equips students with practical enterprise knowledge and culture, helping them transition seamlessly into internships. This approach supports students' personal growth and fuels regional industrial development.
"I've known which company I would work for ever since I joined the tailored training class, and that gave me greater motivation to study," said Liu Xuanhe, a graduate majoring in IoT application technology at the college. "Now, I've officially started on my career path." Liu said.
Targeting key sectors in the region such as new energy, energy equipment manufacturing, and the digital economy, the college utilizes national and regional platforms to develop a “1+1+N” school-enterprise cooperation model.
Collaborations with major companies like Huawei, Mengniu, and JD.com have led to the creation of industry-specific colleges and joint practice centers. Environments emulating real-world enterprises are integrated into training bases, allowing students to take on roles such as data labelers, industrial safety engineers, and maintenance technicians. Over 70 percent of classroom instruction involves real company projects, turning classrooms into workshops and assignments into real work orders.
To streamline employment, the college has implemented a closed-loop training and employment system involving all staff and stages of student development. It follows a “2+0.5+0.5” model: first-year students engage in corporate awareness programs, second-year students work on enterprise projects, and third-year students receive specialized training in "craftsman workshops" and certified order-based programs. “This model makes our training much more targeted," said a faculty member from the Electronic Information Engineering Technology program.
The college has also partnered with talent zones such as Horinger New District and Hohhot Economic Development Zone, where it has co-founded talent training bases. Special training classes, including “Craftsman Classes", "Named Classes" and "Order Classes" have been launched with companies like Alibaba Cloud, Huawei, Zhonghuan, and JD.com, ensuring a seamless path from enrollment to employment.
To date, the college has worked closely with top firms to implement order-based training. A total of 71 specialized classes have been launched, cultivating 1,843 graduates and currently training 1,355 students, with a job matching rate of 98 percent.
