In 2016, the Luban Workshop, born in Tianjin, headed out in the world along "The Belt and Road". It emerged as a cradle for the cultivation of high-quality technical talents, and an important platform for the export of Chinese technology, equipment and quality.

In Djibouti, Africa, the Luban Workshop has contributed to the vocational dreams of local youths. President Guelleh complimented the Luban Workshop for innovating vocational education in Djibouti and filling the gap in the country's specialized education. The countries participating in the co-construction project are moving closer and closer towards reaching a consensus on the following: "Equal cooperation, prioritizing  quality, the integration of industry and education, localization, co-contribution and sharing."

Today, 20 Luban Workshops have been established in 19 countries across Asia, Europe, and Africa, and 12 professional standards have been validated by partner nations and entered their national education systems, as well as their national vocational certification system. Tomorrow, the Luban Workshops will begin to take root in South America and the Pacific Island Countries.
