A launch ceremony for the Moroccan Luban Workshop was held on Dec 3 at Tianjin College of Commerce in China and College of Technology Application Hay Hassani 1 in Morocco.
On a random morning, a group of aspiring young university students majoring in electromechanics were visibly immersed in practically analyzing an industrial robotics machinery installed inside the spacious Luban Workshop in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa.
As a concrete method of promoting Belt and Road cooperation and building a China-Africa community with a shared future, the Luban Workshops teach people in host countries about Chinese standards, models, equipment and solutions.

While sharing the Chinese vocational education achievements and providing advanced teaching equipment, Luban Workshops also organized technical skills training for teachers in partner countries and invited them to China for on-site exchanges.
The Moroccan Luban Workshop has been undergoing final checks of machinery and equipment as it prepares to open soon. This will be the 12th Luban workshop built in Africa by the city of Tianjin.
The Luban Workshop is a program to provide technical skills training for college students, enabling them to be market-ready upon graduation. It has created job opportunities in countries where Chinese companies have increased their investments in recent years.
