In terms of teaching, the college has continuously carried out teaching reforms to improve teaching quality. First, continuously strengthen the characteristics of our college, consolidate key courses and majors, increase skill class hours, practice class hours and elective courses, and ensure that teaching practice class hours account for 40% of the total class hours in the teaching plan, and the training experiment rate is above 90%. The second is to implement hierarchical teaching and modular teaching in teaching. According to each student's acceptance ability, we should really teach students in accordance with their aptitude, so that each student can understand which industries and posts his personality is suitable for and the basic requirements that these industries and posts should meet. The third is to implement the teaching goal of "double certificates" for leaving school after graduation, and strengthen the research and study of vocational skill qualification certificates by using the training bases inside and outside the school, so that students can obtain double certificates of "graduation certificate" and "skill" qualification certificates when leaving school.
The college has also adopted the way of extending education to the society, that is, abandoning the traditional routine of relying entirely on its own development after graduation and providing three-year follow-up service for college graduates. First, the personal files of graduates are established, and corresponding information is regularly provided on the campus network to help graduates get opportunities that can be adjusted according to their own career development needs, and as far as possible, they are provided with functional training and assessment closely linked to the market to help graduates enhance their competitiveness; Graduates can also enjoy psychological counseling, project evaluation and career planning provided by the college at any time. Through the communication with graduates, the college can keep abreast of market trends in order to adjust the knowledge and skill structure of students in school in time.
Since 2000, the college has made a commitment to "recommend employment" to students and parents. "All students who pass the interview and have no illegal behavior are guaranteed to recommend employment. If they cannot recommend employment within the prescribed time limit, the school will refund all tuition fees. " And when freshmen enter school, they sign employment commitment letters with freshmen.
At present, the college has compiled a set of systematic and scientific vocational guidance teaching materials, hired teachers with vocational guidance qualifications to systematically educate students on career planning, taught students how to know themselves and how to correctly position themselves, and made students clear "What should universities study?" How to learn? What can I do after learning? What is better to do? "
While providing students with career guidance, the college also constantly develops enterprise resources and constantly improves the construction of enterprise resources. At present, the Institute has established a resource network of more than 1000 large and medium-sized enterprises, and established extensive cooperative relations with talent agencies such as Southern Talent Market, Guangdong Talent Market and Guangdong Human Resources Market. Due to the establishment of fully market-oriented employment channels, timely grasp of the employment needs of enterprises, so that fresh graduates can make targeted choices, so the employment success rate has reached a fairly high proportion.
As an institution with the goal of cultivating applied and skilled talents, the college has been trying to run schools jointly with enterprises. On the one hand, according to the market demand for talents, the college regularly adjusts a series of majors and increases the majors with promising employment prospects. Curriculum reform is also carried out according to the requirements of enterprises, and practical skills are increased. On the other hand, the college also runs schools jointly with many well-known enterprises, carries out "order-based teaching" and establishes "practice bases" in these enterprises. Today, the institute has established "practice bases" in more than 0/00 enterprises such as Guangzhou Honda Engine, Shenzhen Shenzhou Computer and Guangzhou Garden Hotel. Many students are directly employed by these enterprises when they graduate because of their excellent performance during their internship.
In recent years, while continuously strengthening teaching, the college has also continuously enriched campus cultural life. In addition to the campus science, technology, culture and art festival and school sports meeting, there are also annual basketball league, football league, campus singer contest, campus life photography contest, campus life essay writing and other activities, so that all students have a stage to perform. In addition to allowing students to show themselves, the college regularly invites social celebrities to give lectures and give professional guidance to students' hobbies. At present, the college has students' own clubs such as calligraphy, literature, speech and eloquence, public relations etiquette, martial arts, basketball, dance, vocal music and photography.
While actively running schools, the college constantly helps students in need. Scholarships and grants of various names, such as college president scholarship, president scholarship, etc. Help students with difficulties to complete their studies. The college divides grants and scholarships into five grades, and the amount of 1 ~ 4 is 1000 ~ 5000 yuan respectively. For poor students, tuition and miscellaneous fees are free. Every year, this kind of money is more than 2 million, benefiting more than 15% of students.
Over the past 20 years, the college has trained a batch of talents with their own characteristics, which has made due contributions to the development of private education and Guangdong's economic construction. Due to the excellent performance of the students, the college has established a good social image and its social influence is increasing day by day.
In addition to students from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, there are also some young people from South Korea who come to school to study. This year, the fact that Huang, an elderly man in Hong Kong who is over 60 years old, went to the hospital has aroused strong repercussions from all walks of life.
Over the past 20 years, with its own characteristics, the college has trained a batch of talents.
