BEIJING Comprar Nike Vapormax Baratas , Nov. 14 (Xinhua) -- After an 18-hour contest against 30 competitors from around the world, 21-year-old Hu Ping won the gold medal in Fashion Technology at the 44th WorldSkills Competition. She cut her cloth well within the stipulated time and perfectly matched the pattern.
Hu has been interested in handcrafting, especially making clothes, since she was a child. After graduating from junior high school four years ago, she enrolled in Beijing Industry and Trade Technician College to study costume design and production. She learned how to judge apparel fabrics, 3D cropping Nike Vapormax Baratas , pattern-making and sewing production, paving the way for her success.
Hu's design teacher, Yang Yu, worked in the apparel industry for 15 years. With a deep understanding of the needs of businesses and technical challenges, she teaches practical skills.
"I hope to teach students what the market and industry really need. We hope to cultivate garment technologists who know both design and production. They can partner with the designers and put the design concept into detail-oriented clothes," Yang said.
The approach signals a new era in China's vocational education. According to a report delivered to the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in October Air Vapormax Baratas Online , the Party will "improve the system of vocational education and training, and promote integration between industry and education and cooperation between enterprises and colleges."
China has the world's largest vocational education system, with 12,300 colleges offering about 100,000 majors. Together they have almost 27 million students, who will become the backbone of modern manufacturing Air Vapormax Off White Baratas , strategic emerging and modern service industries.
Hu Ping learned as much through work placements at apparel companies as she did in class. After discussions with designers, she went through the whole process of choosing fabrics, pattern-making and placing orders with the production department, and came up with her own products.
"Efficiency in garment layout and keeping a neat worktop - these details test professionalism and craftsmanship," Hu said.
Wang Jianbai, director of the Light Industry Branch of Beijing Industry and Trade Technician College Air Vapormax Moc Baratas , is deeply interested in the integration of industry and education. Over the years, the school has formed alliances with well-known garment companies such as Rose Studio Haute Couture, Hongdu Dress and Aimer Group, to jointly train students.
"We make teaching plans with these enterprises. During the course, they will send designers and technicians to offer instruction and evaluation. Some enterprises set up scholarships in our schools; some set up 'order classes' to enable students to go directly to the company after they graduate," Wang said.
China's garment industry is disadvantaged by lack of creative designers and a shortage of technicians who can turn ideas into products.
"We are not training traditional sewing workers Air Vapormax Flyknit Baratas , but cultivating all-round talents who knows both design and production. I believe more students like Hu Ping entering the job market will help promote the transformation and competitiveness of China's garment industry," Wang said.
According to research on China' s labor market jointly released by Tsinghua and Fudan universities, China is gradually transforming from low-end manufacturing to the production of high value-added products, which calls for more highly skilled industrial workers.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said China is expected to face a shortage of 3 million skilled workers to operate robot and high-end numerical control machines by 2020. The shortfall will grow to 4.5 million by 2025.
Xing Hui, director of the Vocational Education Center of the National Academy of Education Administration, believes the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing poses new challenges for China's vocational education.
