OPTIMIZING OUR COURSES AND MAKING THE TALENT CULTIVATION PLAN DISTINCTIVE

With the principles of talent cultivation: “foreign language talents with profession” and “professional talents with command of foreign language”, the key specialties should be given more priority while other relevant specialties are supportive. Based upon the social research, some specialties with good prospect of employment and urgent social need have already been set. e.g. Conference and Exhibition, Preschool Education, Aviation Service, Banking Affairs, Administrative Affairs, Certified Public Accountant, Tax Accountant, Network Engineering, Software Engineer, Animation Design and Planning and so on.

In addition, good results have been attained in the reform of some major courses. e.g. By combining the courses of ACCP Software Engineer and the courses of BENET Network Engineering of APTECH, which is always standing in the forefront of IT industry, with the courses of Computer Education, the recent graduates have obtained better employment than ever before.

Integrated with the professional courses, more than 30 practice bases are established to meet the diversified needs of practical teaching, such as multi-function language center, hotel simulation practice base, accounting simulation practice base, moot court, sand table simulation of tourist resorts of Gansu Province and teaching base of realistic practice of regional resorts.

The college has four testing centers authorized for vocational skill evaluation offering good service for graduates. E.g. Practical English Oral Test for Colleges, Testing Centre of Computer Advanced Technology and the College English Test Band 4 & 6. The college has also been jointly granted with nationally-authorized base of practical training program for employment competence by the State Minister of Labor and Social Security, China Association of Employment Promotion and China Employment Project Office of College Students.

In response to the shortage of competent talents caused by the regional economic development, the college has started quality courses and contract training, vigorously advancing for “double certificate” program and further optimizing specialty structures. In recent years, some large state-owned enterprises come to the college to recruit new staffs, such as China Southern Airlines, military service organs, and China Mobile. The employment of graduates is getting better year by year.
