The ceremony for the Beijing Benz 10,000-person new apprenticeship program was held at the company factory on Apr 25. The event celebrated the completion of the project.

"China's characteristic new apprenticeship program for enterprises" is a new educational model that combines enterprise training with school education. It was launched in 2018 by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the Ministry of Finance. 

The program's main goal is to promote the training of skilled talents in enterprises and strengthen the industrial workforce. 

Education institutions such as enterprise and technical schools, vocational schools, vocational training institutions, and enterprise training centers jointly train new recruits and job transferees by adopting models such as enterprise-school double teaching and apprenticeship, and alternating work and study.

The "China's characteristic new apprenticeship program for enterprises" 10,000-person training project was launched at the Beijing Benz factory in Beijing E-Town in November 2021. 

As the largest training of its kind, the Beijing Benz 10,000-person new apprenticeship program, lasting one year, focused on training new energy vehicle installation and maintenance personnel and industrial robot system operation and maintenance personnel, two urgently needed and scarce occupations in the city. 

A total of 9,915 apprentices were trained, providing skilled talent reserves for the transformation of the new energy vehicle industry.

Recently, the project was successfully completed, and a summary and commendation meeting was held on April 25. 

At the meeting, awards were presented to outstanding students, excellent class teachers,  lecturers, mentors, support, outstanding individual contribution, excellent team organization, and other categories.

Beijing E-Town has always regarded the training of skilled talents as a top priority. 

As a pilot area for the promotion of Beijing's vocational training, Beijing E-Town has created a comprehensive lifelong vocational skills training system by supporting enterprises to organize project-based self-training, expanding talent joint training bases, encouraging leading enterprises to share high-quality training resources to meet training needs, and supporting enterprises and employees to participate in various vocational skills competitions.
