It features four core training areas, including areas for intelligent equipment technology and modern control technology. It features 54 professional training rooms equipped with internationally leading equipment, serving as a platform for school-enterprise cooperation and industry-education integration.

Baotou Teachers' College has also signed a cooperation agreement with leading enterprises to establish a school-enterprise-industry-education-research innovation base, matching industrial needs and clearing the channel for talent cultivation and employment.
