According to information from the Ministry of Education's official website, the number of applicants for the 2024 National College Entrance Examination reached 13.42 million, an increase of 510,000 over 2023, setting a new record. Now that the exam is over, the crucial moment for filling out volunteer forms is approaching. I have also gradually received inquiries from relatives and friends, many of whom are interested in the automotive industry.
On June 26th, invited by Pacific Automobile, I participated in an online broadcast titled "Car Experts Talk about College Entrance Exam Volunteers" along with Professor Zhu Xichan, an automotive safety expert, Li Xueyong, Deputy General Manager of Chery Automobile, and Li Ziyang, the chief editor of Pacific Automobile. Teacher Li Ziyang prepared many thoughtful questions that elicited valuable experiences from our guests.
After the live broadcast, I also extended my thinking on some topics that were not discussed in time during the broadcast. Now, along with the interactive discussions from the broadcast itself, I would like to share them with everyone, hoping they will be useful to parents concerned about employment in the automotive industry and candidates about to fill out their volunteer forms! [Key Information Extract] Professor Zhu Xichan, an automotive safety expert: 1. Automotive companies are laying off staff while recruiting new talents because what we lack now are people who can work in new energy and intelligence; 2. The total annual output value of the automotive industry reached about 9.8 trillion yuan in 2022 and increased to nearly 11 trillion yuan in 2023; 3. We have become the strongest in the world in new energy vehicles. In 30 years, the offensive and defensive sides will change. Europe and the United States want to block China's new energy vehicles, but I think they cannot stop us; 4. The automobile is a product with the strongest inclusiveness, encompassing sports, culture, media, finance, etc., and also requires talents in automation, computer science, software, and electronic information engineering. However, the most in-demand field is still vehicle engineering; 5. Learning software is a "youth meal," and a bachelor's degree is not enough to enter the automotive industry. Automobiles are such complex things that without a master's degree, it is insufficient to deal with the problems we encounter in our work;
6. The college entrance exam is a crucial juncture in life. Those who do well should regard it as the starting point for the next phase of life, not the end. Even if they don't do well, they shouldn't be discouraged. Not only students from top universities can succeed;
Li Xueyong, Deputy General Manager of Chery Automobile Co., Ltd.: 1. The demand for new energy will definitely increase, but it does not mean that the demand for traditional technical industries is small. Engines, chassis, and transmissions are still in high demand because both extended-range and hybrid models require engines; 2. In the automotive industry, autonomous driving, intelligent cockpits, and battery, motor, and electronic control (BME) will remain the main job positions and majors for at least the next 10 years; 3. Choosing a major is also crucial. Everyone should accumulate some technical knowledge, which may be beneficial for a lifetime; 4. University is just a new starting point. One must adjust their mindset and not let dissatisfaction or disappointment lead to imbalance;
5. One should broaden their horizons in university, highlight their hobbies, cultivate a learning habit, and not avoid society;
Wang Gang, the founder of Ershixiongwanche: 1. There is a popular term in parent-child education—internal motivation. When we encounter a new field, we must actively learn to put ourselves in an advantageous position in a new environment; 2. From high school to university, it is an excellent tool and platform. We should treat it as a tool, not a threshold; 3. Don't take it easy in university, or it may leave regrets in the future; 4. Seize the opportunity to find internships in school and use them as a bridge to connect with automotive companies in the future;
5. Use the internet to learn about automotive companies and the latest industry trends, accumulating knowledge in this area, which will lay a good foundation for future entry into automotive companies;
【Summary of Live Broadcast Questions and Answers】
01. Are the majors studied in university related to current jobs in the automotive industry?
Wang Gang: I majored in Mechatronics Engineering for my master's degree and Mechanical Manufacturing and Automation for my bachelor's degree. For example, knowledge like mechanical principles, three mechanics, aerodynamics, and fluid mechanics is actually involved in the automotive industry, but there are not many courses directly related to vehicle engineering.
Including our colleagues in the R&D department before, some studied materials, polymers, foreign languages, etc., but overall, the proportion of vehicle engineering was high. Frankly speaking, if the future employment has already been planned when filling out the college entrance exam volunteer form, it would be better.
02. Is there really a talent gap of 1.03 million in the automotive industry?
Zhu Xichan: We can indeed see that automotive companies are laying off staff while recruiting new talents. Through 30 years of rapid development, we have a surplus of traditional automotive talents represented by mechanical engineering. However, there is a shortage of talents in electrification and intelligence, so automotive companies are laying off staff while recruiting.
One point mentioned here is whether traditional automotive talents can transition to the new energy track. It is possible. Through years of experience, traditional automotive talents have gained some knowledge about new energy and intelligent driving, including artificial intelligence. These people are likely to be recruited. In addition, talents in electrification and intelligence do not necessarily come entirely from traditional automotive backgrounds. We can also see that many people from major internet companies have been recruited because AI jobs are interchangeable. The 1.03 million talent gap was a survey conducted by the Ministry of Education based on the talent demand for the development of smart new energy vehicles. That's why automotive companies are actively recruiting talents.
03. How high is the matching degree between traditional mechanical engineering and job demand in automotive companies?
Zhu Xichan: The matching degree between traditional mechanical engineering and the demand of automotive companies is already less than 50%. Because today's cars are not purely mechanical products, but rather, majors like computer science, automation, electronic information, etc., have a matching degree of 60% to 70% in the development of smart cars today.
However, from a macro perspective, it is more desirable for the vehicle engineering discipline to undergo reform and cultivate new talents who can complete the industrial revolution and transformation of smart new energy vehicles. Schools like Tsinghua University and Tongji University, after understanding the new talent gap in automotive companies, have added two sets of courses: one is a new energy direction based on electrochemistry, and the other is an autonomous driving direction based on artificial intelligence. With these two sets of courses, the matching degree between vehicle engineering and the talent demand of automotive companies still stands at 60% or even more. We believe that with these two courses, vehicle engineering will remain a much-needed professional direction for today's smart new energy vehicles.
Wang Gang: About 10 years ago when I worked in an automotive company, most of the jobs for automotive engineers were traditional ones like bodywork, interior and exterior trim, chassis, etc. Around 2017 and 2018, some automotive companies began to prepare for the three new directions of electric drive, intelligent connectivity, and intelligent driving. According to the latest information I have from friends in automotive companies, the ratio of people in these three new directions to those in traditional automotive directions is now 1:1, and the ratio of people in new directions is still increasing.
04. Are automotive-related majors popular?
Zhu Xichan: I think so!
As everyone knows, we have become the strongest in the world in new energy vehicles and even have a large amount of exports now. China's automotive industry has taken 30 years to develop. After 30 years, the offensive and defensive sides have changed. Everyone wants to drive a good car. We can see that under the boost of electric motors, the power performance of electric vehicles is unmatched by fuel vehicles. Although pure electric vehicles have some usage restrictions, plug-in hybrids have no issues. They can run on both fuel and electricity, and having both is even better, making them more adaptable. When we choose a major, the first thing we think of is employment. Looking at employment, at least the major must have sufficient volume to accommodate student employment. I believe the automotive industry has sufficient volume.
05. Is the employment rate high for automotive majors?
Zhu Xichan: The employment rate in the automotive industry has always been over 99%, which is very high. The employment rate for undergraduates is not high because our postgraduate enrollment rate reaches nearly 30%, plus those who take the graduate entrance exam and go abroad. Nearly 8% of our graduates first consider further studies. Therefore, a bachelor's degree alone may not be sufficient. It is recommended to pursue further studies and follow your mentor, which will naturally lead you into the new track of intelligent new energy.
06. Besides automotive majors, what other majors can graduate students enter automotive companies?
Zhu Xichan: For the automotive industry, it is an inclusive industry that needs talents from various fields. If you have worked in an automotive company before, you would know that it actually needs people from all directions.
The automobile is the most inclusive product. We do not have any other product like the automobile that is both a leading manufacturer and encompasses sports, culture, media, and finance. Of course, the main body still needs to build good cars. The most in-demand field is still vehicle engineering. Mechanical engineering, manufacturing, materials, automation, computer science, software, and electronic information engineering are all essential. Materials are included in mechanical engineering. Material processes are definitely needed, and they are diverse, including metallic materials, non-metallic materials, and polymers. There are many types of materials in a car. If you really want to work in an automotive factory, your first choice should still be vehicle engineering. Just now, a friend mentioned that he did not major in vehicle engineering but in software. Of course, it is still possible to enter the automotive industry, but the number will definitely be less than those majoring in vehicle engineering.
07. Is it difficult for undergraduates to find jobs in the automotive industry?
Zhu Xichan: If you are an undergraduate majoring in vehicle engineering, going directly to work in an automotive company after graduation may not be a bad choice, but your knowledge structure may not be sufficient. We say that the software industry is a "youth meal," and those who major in software do quite well after graduating from undergraduate programs. However, for such a complex system as vehicle engineering, I think without going through graduate school, it may be difficult to meet the needs of enterprises.
I think all Chinese parents want their children to pursue further studies. Therefore, when choosing a university for the college entrance exam, it is recommended to select a school with a high postgraduate enrollment rate. Now, some 985 universities may have a postgraduate enrollment rate of 70% to 80%. It is recommended to choose schools with a high postgraduate enrollment rate as the first choice for undergraduate studies.
08. How should one adapt to the work rhythm of automotive companies if there is a span in majors?
Wang Gang: My career started at Shanghai Volkswagen. After joining Volkswagen, some content had a certain degree of inheritance from what I learned in school, but there were also significant differences. Therefore, there were mainly four ways to quickly adapt after entering the automotive company.
The first is learning from a mentor. When I entered the automotive company, I had a mentor who guided me to get familiar with the entire process of vehicle development, including some design details. The second is self-study through books. I bought some books for learning, including many popular science books by Mr. Chen Xinya, such as "Why Do Cars Run" and "How Are Cars Designed and Manufactured." The third is learning through communication. During the process of automotive R&D projects, I communicated with engineers from different directions, professions, and fields to accumulate knowledge step by step. The fourth is learning from company knowledge materials. Generally, automotive companies are large. For example, BYD has over 100,000 employees, and Chery has several tens of thousands. Such large companies mean they have a profound historical accumulation. For new employees, the most important thing is various materials and documents, such as design materials for historical models, benchmarking materials for various competitors, and cross-departmental professional materials. These materials are readily available in shared drives. As long as you have access permissions, time, and willingness to learn, you can learn a lot.
I would like to add a word summarized by Teacher Li Ziyang on my behalf: internal motivation. When we enter a new field, we must actively learn from the heart rather than passively, so that we can put ourselves in a relatively advantageous position in the new environment. I would also like to add a point mentioned by Mr. Li Xueyong during the live broadcast. He majored in automation but is now working in marketing.
09. What major should I choose if I want to earn a million annual salary?
Zhu Xichan: I think artificial intelligence is a promising field for earning a million annual salary if you can reach a solid position, but too traditional majors are not realistic. If you consider Tongji University, majors like electronics and information and computer science can be considered.
10. Will traditional automotive majors still be popular in the next 5-10 years?
Li Xueyong: I think the demand for new energy will definitely increase, especially in areas like intelligent cockpits, autonomous driving, and battery, motor, and electronic control (BME). However, it does not mean that the demand for traditional technical industries will decrease. I believe that as far as the automotive industry is concerned, as long as it is related, including engines, chassis, transmissions, etc., there is still a high demand. Because future extended-range and hybrid models will still have engines.
I think the traditional automotive industry is a very good industry. Because from last year to the first five months of this year, if we consider the upstream and downstream of the automotive industry, it should be the largest industry in China's current GDP. Therefore, it is a good choice for college entrance exam candidates to choose this industry. In addition, within the automotive industry, autonomous driving, intelligent cockpits, and battery, motor, and electronic control (BME) will remain the main job positions and majors for at least the next 10 years.
11. What major is more suitable for those who want to work in automotive marketing?
Li Xueyong:
For marketing, we have marketing-related majors and automotive-related majors like vehicle engineering. Those who understand cars can also choose marketing. Moreover, we have internal mechanisms for job transfers. After joining the company, if you are working in vehicle engineering and have been doing R&D for one or two years, you can also transfer to marketing if you wish.
3. Easy Four-way Distributed Drive
12. What are some considerations when filling out college entrance exam volunteer forms?
Li Xueyong: Choose a school and major. Chery is a technology-oriented company, and I still believe that technical accumulation is beneficial for a lifetime. You can achieve significant development in certain majors. The four years of university are crucial, and choosing a good major will also be beneficial for a lifetime. Although I am now working in marketing and managing the entire business unit, I majored in automation and belong to the category of technical men. From my perspective, everyone should choose a suitable major to further their studies. It is best not only to study in university but also to want to work in this field after graduation. Ten or twenty years after graduation, you will still benefit from your major choice or continue to develop yourself in this direction, which is very important.
13. What suggestions do you have after entering university?
Li Xueyong: Say 3 suggestions!
The first point is that when you enter the campus, you may not intuitively feel like your dream university, because after three years of hard work in the college entrance examination, what you hope for may not be the same as what the university can give you. Some people may be relatively disappointed, especially many students may not be able to enter the university they want to go to as they wish. University is just a new starting point, it is important to adjust one's mindset and not create an imbalance of mindset due to dissatisfaction and disappointment. This is crucial. You should take college registration as a new starting point in life, and adjust what you should do on this new starting point.
Secondly, I think one should do what kind of things at what age in their life, such as studying hard for three years in high school to get into a good university. In university, one can broaden their horizons, highlight their hobbies, exercise well, and even have a passionate relationship, as long as it does not affect their studies. Do what you want at what age, otherwise your life may lead to regret. In college, one should do what college students do and do it to the extreme, such as achieving the ultimate in social practice, student union work, a certain science, and all club activities. I believe it will be of great help to your future work. I'm afraid of being mediocre and only thinking about rest, and I'm not doing well in any aspect.
Thirdly, we hope that everyone can develop a habit of learning and not avoid society. Starting from today, it is important to think clearly that after four years of university, there will be a better learning environment for further education. There must be no mentality of avoidance, and one must figure out how to face society in university. Avoidance is useless. Often, one can adapt well to society by preparing early. So, adapting to society is related to your emotional intelligence, intelligence, social skills, exam scores, professional abilities, and so on. You should start thinking about entering society in 4 years from the beginning of entering university. Therefore, I hope everyone can be brave and strong, do their best in what they should do in university, and then enter society well.
Zhu Xichan: We say that the high school period for third year high school students has ended, and the second year high school students will welcome the college entrance examination next year. The college entrance examination is a very important node in life. If you do well in the examination, you should consider it as the starting point for the next stage of your life. Entering an ideal university is the starting point, not the end point. Even if you didn't do well in the exam, don't be discouraged. It's not that only students from Tsinghua and North China can succeed. I graduated from a second tier university and worked hard before studying hard. In 1995, I obtained a PhD in Automotive Engineering from Tsinghua University, and later found this teaching position at Tongji University. So, if we do well in the exam, we should take it as the next starting point in life; If you don't do well in the exam, don't be discouraged. Keep working hard, there is still a possibility of success. Wang Gang: From my perspective, I think there are a few things I can do in university. First of all, don't think that you can just lie flat after entering college, this is not right.
The first point is ability development. During university time, on the one hand, it is the cultivation stage of professional knowledge, on the other hand, it is the cultivation stage of excellent learning ability, proper way of doing things, and good behavior habits, which is actually more important than performance evaluation points. After achieving these points, one can quickly adapt to any new company or position.
The second point is self-learning. I think just now, Professor Zhu also mentioned that car companies actually have high requirements for the comprehensive abilities and professional knowledge of their employees. Therefore, if you have free time, you can borrow some books related to this type of car and new cars in advance, read them in advance, and systematically sort them out. Even now, at the macro level, the country is promoting the equal importance of scientific popularization and scientific research innovation. There are actually more and more reading materials in this direction now. I am also doing science popularization now, so I have written books such as "Understanding New Energy Vehicles in One Book", "Understanding Intelligent Low Carbon Vehicles in One Book", "Understanding Intelligent Connected Vehicles in One Book", etc. Among them, "Understanding New Energy Vehicles in One Book" is the top four new books in the automotive category in 2023, and also one of the top ten good books in the automotive field by China Machinery Industry Press in 2023. Interested friends can follow it!
The third point is internship opportunities. Most of the professional knowledge learned in university courses is general and has significant differences from the actual job position itself. In fact, within the same department, there will be huge differences in the job content of people from different directions. Therefore, if you have time, it is recommended to explore more related internship opportunities and use them as a bridge to connect with the automotive company in the future.
The fourth point is to keep up with the industry. Nowadays, the internet is also very developed. So, using the internet to learn about car companies and the latest developments in the industry, including what new cars Chery has recently released, what are the highlights of this car, where Professor Zhu has been doing live broadcasts recently, and I have also watched many of Professor Zhu's live broadcasts. Previously, AEB's live broadcasts were very popular, and it is also because this wave of live broadcasts has changed many people's views on this function. School students can also accumulate knowledge in this area through such channels, which can also lay a good foundation for entering car companies in the future. Lastly, I would like to add one more point: pay attention to the cultivation of interdisciplinary and composite abilities.
There are actually three reasons behind this: first, the automotive product is too complex, second, the automotive industry involves too many links, and third, the automotive industry chain is too long. So, if you have time, you can explore other related fields beyond your professional field to expand your learning. For example, those who understand technology but also have some understanding of shape design, those who understand research and development but also understand part costs, those who understand industrial robot programming, and those who understand production and technology are all in urgent need of composite high skilled talents.

14. What are the core differences between the current automotive industry and the past automotive industry?
I have been in the automotive industry for more than ten years, which happens to be a period of significant changes in the Chinese automotive market. If we compare the automotive industry from ten years ago to the present, I think there are mainly six core differences.
(1) The Changes in the Pattern of Automobile Enterprises In 2013, the top three domestic retail rankings were Shanghai Volkswagen, FAW Volkswagen, and Shanghai General Motors. At that time, the top five Chinese brand sales were Great Wall, Geely, BYD, Chery, and Changan. By 2023, the top 10 car companies in terms of retail sales for the year are BYD, FAW Volkswagen, Geely Automobile, Changan Automobile, SAIC Volkswagen, GAC Toyota, SAIC General Motors, Chery Automobile, FAW Toyota, and Great Wall Motors. Looking at another data: In 2013, Chinese brand passenger cars accounted for 40.3% of the total market share, and by 2023, the cumulative market share of Chinese brands was 52%. To sum up, the era of great autonomy has arrived!
(2) In terms of the form of power drive, the sales of new energy vehicles in China in 2013 were around 17600 units; By 2023, the sales of new energy vehicles in China have increased by about 540 times, to around 9.495 million units. In terms of intelligence level, the new car in 2013 could be equipped with an ACC, which is considered an advanced intelligent driving assistance function, but it is only a single function; But in the first half of 2023, the installation rate of L2 level auxiliary driving function for new energy vehicles reached 39%, of which, the installation rate of L2 level auxiliary driving was 34.9%, and the installation rate of L2+level auxiliary driving was 4.1%. In summary, the proportion and degree of electrification and intelligence in new automotive products are significantly increasing, and will continue to increase in the future.
(3) In the past decade, changes in the industrial chain have emerged around the two new directions of electrification and intelligence. Not only have new automotive brands such as Weixiaoli emerged, but also new brands incubated by traditional car companies such as BYD Equation Leopard, Changan Shenlan, Geely Galaxy, and Xingtu Xingyuan have emerged. This has also created a series of leading technology companies in the industrial chain, such as CATL, Horizon, and Sagitar Juchuang.
(4) The most well-known change in industrial policies is that in 2013, it was a year of transition from National IV to National V, and at that time, many new energy vehicles on the streets were old men who were just accumulating points; By 2023, it will be fully implemented nationwide in China. In addition, the exemption of vehicle purchase tax for new energy vehicles has been implemented since September 2014 and has been extended three times in 2017, 2021, and 2022.
(5) The change in consumer demand ten years ago when buying a car, many people only defined it as a means of transportation, so the halo of joint venture brands was very shining; But now, many people have varying degrees of requirements for comfort, safety, luxury, and intelligence, which indirectly drives Chinese brands of new energy vehicles to flourish in the Chinese market, and their advantages in electrification and intelligence are very obvious.
(6) When I first joined Volkswagen, the R&D department had a relatively large number of employees in the following areas: styling, overall layout, exterior and interior design, safety, electronics and electrical, chassis, etc., which were more inclined towards traditional directions. Around 2018, there was a gradual increase in the direction of electric drive, intelligent networking, and intelligent driving. However, at that time, it was only a small-scale pilot. Now, I have a preliminary understanding that the proportion of personnel in the traditional direction mentioned above is about 50%, and the proportion of personnel in the electric drive, intelligent networking, and intelligent driving directions has reached 50%; Moreover, this is just a ratio for joint venture car companies. If you are in a company that purely focuses on smart electric vehicles, then the proportion of employees in these three new directions will be higher.
15. What skills are required for working in a car company?
In addition to certain professional abilities, taking advantage of this opportunity, combined with my personal experience, I will share some of my experiences through a few short stories.
(1) On the one hand, project reporting requires simplifying complex issues during reporting, and on the other hand, it requires sufficient preparation in advance to improve reporting efficiency and achieve reporting decisions. When I was in a car company, I often had high-level projects. At this time, it was necessary to use as concise a description and information as possible to list the background, current situation, suggested solutions 1, suggested solutions 2, and so on of the reporting topic for senior management to make decisions, usually a one page PPT. However, at the end of this PPT page, there may be more than ten pages of backup materials, which are prepared in advance for the new problems extended by the topic to be reported. Because each automotive related issue involves many stakeholders, it is necessary to make scenario assumptions in advance before reporting. Assuming that I am the decision-maker, I may extend some new problems and then prepare materials for this new problem. Only in this way can we timely obtain project decisions and push the project forward according to the project schedule, otherwise it will delay the timeline. Here is a report on automotive technology called the "Three Piece Theory". All automotive related issues can be analyzed in three dimensions: technology, cost, and schedule. The technology includes many dimensions, and once these three factors are clarified, the topic can be considered mature and discussed for decision-making!
(2) The development of each car has a strict overall vehicle development schedule, with major milestones, minor milestones, and possibly sub milestones. Therefore, when working on a project, it is necessary to have a strong sense of time milestones. Moreover, there may be some issues that may cause the schedule to need to be rearranged. At this time, it is important to pay attention to whether the major milestones can be maintained and what costs are needed to maintain them. Once the SOP nodes of the car company are determined, it is basically impossible to change them. If a certain node is pushed, it needs to be retrieved from the next node.
(3) Priority awareness: Because cars are a complex assembly, we encounter many new problems every day during Nissan's work process, and most of these problems occur in parallel. Therefore, we need to spend energy every day to solve these problems, just like fighting monsters. We need to classify these problems into red dot problems, yellow dot problems, green dot problems, and gray dot problems. The severity of the problems decreases in order, and they can also be classified according to their importance and urgency. Simply put, we need to clarify the importance and urgency of the problems.
(4) Knowledge management car companies generally have a large scale, such as BYD with over 100000 employees and Chery with tens of thousands of employees, so there are a lot of information involved. For example, there is a need for a set of methods to manage materials for different vehicle models and professional directions. If these materials can be organized and archived in a timely and effective manner for quick retrieval when needed, it will greatly improve work efficiency, including daily project communication, project reporting at different levels, and even when daily work needs to be flipped through history.
(5) When I first started working in foreign language communication, I joined the public. In addition to English, I also have German communication skills, so I need to learn German. I also spent a long time in Germany doing project communication, and many times I also communicate in German; Later on, in Ford China, it was often necessary to communicate technical issues directly with styling designers from various countries, and the smoothness of expression at this time would directly determine the efficiency of communication. The internationalization component is getting higher and higher now, especially for leading companies like Chery and SAIC that are going global, including new brands such as Zero Run and Nezha that are also accelerating their overseas expansion, which require more international talents. In fact, in addition to the above points, project management ability, time management ability, innovation ability, communication and coordination ability, problem-solving ability, and so on are also indispensable!
Conclusion
Recently, Chairman Zhu Mingrong of the China Automotive Talent Research Association mentioned in a speech that "the key to China's transition from an automotive powerhouse to an automotive powerhouse lies in the next decade.". I personally have a clear feeling that under the trend of electrification and intelligence, the automotive industry has become one of the most popular sunrise industries. Battery, electric drive, electronic control, electronic and electrical, intelligent cockpit, intelligent driving, software and other directions have become popular fields. At the same time, there is also a strong demand in the areas where consumers are increasingly concerned about vehicle collision safety, car styling design, human-computer interaction design, digitization, artificial intelligence and other directions. For us self media, this is an unconventional piece of content, but I think it is also the information that many students who want to enter the automotive industry in the future urgently want to know. I would like to take this opportunity to share with all the candidates who are about to fill out their applications one more thing in advance: in addition to making a good choice of major based on the above directions, it is also necessary to consider understanding the school's strength, practical opportunities, industry trends, etc. At the same time, pay attention to cultivating personal continuous learning ability, team communication ability, innovative and creative thinking in school to maintain sustained competitiveness!
