"There are only two technical schools enrolling students this year, and they are all targeted enrollment." Yesterday, people from Nanjing Labor and Social Security Bureau told reporters that although there is a great demand for welders in the market, technical schools are unwilling to offer this major because of its high cost.
The school was first approved by the relevant state departments as the national electromechanical high-skilled personnel training base, the staff education and training center of China South Locomotive Group Company, the training base of international standard welding (ISO9006) and the training base of Nanjing high-skilled personnel. The school has a special railway vocational skill appraisal station, a vocational skill appraisal station of China South Locomotive Group and a general vocational skill appraisal station. Because of the high cost, technical schools are reluctant to offer welding courses.
It is understood that in this year's senior high school entrance examination guide, only Nanjing Railway Vehicle Technical School and China Yangtze River Shipping Nanjing Jinling Shipyard Technical School offer welding technology majors, and the graduates of this major will directly work in Nanjing Puzhen Vehicle Factory or Jinling Shipyard. "In the past few years, many schools have set up welding technology majors, but the teaching cost is too high, so the school has cancelled this major one after another." A person from Nanjing Labor and Social Security Bureau told the reporter that at least 10 covered electrode was burned every day during a student's internship. According to the calculation of each 5 yuan, one month's teaching cost reaches 1500 yuan, while the school's annual tuition is only 3,000 yuan, and private schools have no other sources of funds. Although there is a great demand for welders in the market, it is helpless that no school is willing to start classes.
