In recent years, the Guiyang Economic and Technological Development Zone (GETDZ) has worked to become Guizhou's cradle of skilled talent. Nearly 40,000 skilled workers comprise 54.5 percent of the region's total talent pool.
As Guizhou's key manufacturing base, GETDZ leads the province in industrial development quality. GETDZ has made significant strides in innovation-driven talent cultivation by implementing incentive policies and enhancing service guarantees to support the expanding scale of its industries. Thus, the level of skilled talent development has reached new heights.
Close cooperation between enterprises and vocational schools has been crucial in cultivating skilled talent. For example, Guo Yungang, a Guizhou Aerospace Electric Co precision machinist, has tackled complex precision processing challenges and contributed to key national engineering projects. His exceptional skills and innovations have brought significant economic benefits, making him a role model for skilled workers.
GETDZ also emphasizes the development of young talent. Through collaboration between government, schools, and enterprises, vocational students are encouraged to intern and find employment, fostering the inheritance of skilled craftsmanship.
The zone also promotes the "GETDZ Craftsman" program, encouraging skilled masters to serve as role models and inspire young people to embrace the spirit of craftsmanship. Its vocational and technical colleges also actively promote industry-education integration, providing skilled talent to industries across the province.
GETDZ has established itself as a key hub for cultivating skilled talent in Guizhou, contributing to the high-quality development of the industrial sector.
