With the popularization of higher education, the proportion of young people going to college has increased and their education has also increased, but why is the employment pressure also increasing? In this regard, Academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences Pei Gang tried to give his own observations and thoughts: "Perhaps, many young people don't want to do hard things after going to college or even after finishing graduate school. This is a contradiction in education."
html On September 28, "High-quality development of private universities in the context of industry-education integration " was held in Shanghai Shanda College . Many experts and scholars in the education industry, including Pei Gang, all said that higher education is facing the important task of exploring innovative application-oriented talent training models, especially in deeply promoting the integration of industry-education, there is still a lot of room for improvement in colleges and universities., President of Shanghai Private Education Association , Gao Deyi, said bluntly that at present, from the perspective of the level and structure of talent training, the matching degree with social needs is not enough. At the top-level design level of colleges and universities, it is urgent to further optimize the system and mechanism for promoting the deep integration of industry and education, and further promote the policy incentives, resource guarantees and institutional arrangements for enterprises to deeply participate in education and education.
, facing the future, how can we help young students better improve their employment competitiveness and better adapt to social needs, including adapting to the uncertainties of the profession itself? Qu Zhenyuan, member of the National Education Advisory Committee and former president of the Chinese Society of Higher Education, said that universities should accurately determine their positioning and insist on running schools to the society. "The teaching, scientific research and social services carried out by universities should be centered on talent training and serve talent training. In short, the teaching, scientific research and social services of universities all bear the responsibility of educating people."
As the first private undergraduate university in Shanghai, Shanghai Shanda College's innovative measures in vigorously promoting school-enterprise cooperation and industry-education integration have also attracted the attention of many experts in the higher education community. Taking the school’s nursing major, as an example, from 2013 to 2022, Renji Hospital successively retained 212 graduates from Shanghai Shanda College. Behind this, the "Renji Class" opened by the school has made an indelible contribution. After the school and the hospital launched order-based training, the "Renji Class" combined with the needs of social positions and specially opened specialized directions such as critical care, hemodialysis, and operating rooms. Schools and enterprises jointly participated in enrollment, training, and employment. In terms of employment, not only the employment rate of previous graduates of the "Renji Class" reached 100%, but from the perspective of employment feedback, this student group has also been recognized by the hospital for its characteristics of "stable professional thinking, strong communication skills, and good operational skills".
cultivating applied talents still requires "model innovation". According to Chen Yiyi, president of Shanghai Shanda College, the school is reconstructing a teaching system focusing on the cultivation of practical innovation capabilities. As for undergraduate teaching, it will strengthen the training of students' multi-field expansion and social adaptability based on professional education to further highlight their professional development competence.
In addition, through "entering enterprises and running schools", Shanghai Shanda College has cooperated with some leading companies to establish two industrial colleges, jointly establish six platform colleges, and jointly build eight teaching hospitals, and the integration of industry and education has produced new results. In 2021, Shanghai Shanda University Modern Smart Service Industry College won the first batch of municipal key modern industrial college construction projects.
