Building Up The Training Way Of Clothing Talents In Southern China

During the graduation season, the annual clothing design competition of Huizhou University in Guangdong is being carried out. It has attracted many garment enterprises to "recruit talents", but many enterprises have failed. The Secretary of the party general branch Lin Xiaoxin said proudly: "my department graduates basically found jobs three months before graduation."

One local Why are fashion graduates in colleges so popular?

Look at the transcripts of Huizhou University students majoring in clothing in various competitions in the domestic and international competitions. Duan Xiaojie won the finals of the 2009 World Bikini Girls, and Lin Ziwei won the top ten designers in Guangdong in 2013. Liu Bin, representing China, won the award for excellence in the 2013 SDC international costume and its fabric design competition held by the Royal coloring Association in China. Wang Jiayao and Xu Dingcheng were awarded the Silver Award and the best market potential award of the eighteenth China JEANSWEST cup casual wear design contest.

As a local college, why can such a remarkable achievement be achieved? "Our hospital adheres to the concept of" four modernizations ", that is, running school characteristics, training application, serving regionalization, internationalized vision, and building a distinctive comprehensive undergraduate university. The words of Yang Haitao, Secretary of the Party committee of Huizhou University, are loud and clear, which clearly depicts the context of educating people in Huizhou University. And the clothing department of Huizhou University has gradually built up a new height of clothing talents training in Southern China.

Humanism School running

To cultivate distinctive students, on the one hand, schools should provide sufficient and abundant "soil" for students' success; on the other hand, they should be people-oriented, vary from person to person, and rationally guide, and cultivate distinctive talents with innovative thinking, independent consciousness and strong sense of innovation.

Huizhou University's clothing department has made notable achievements in its distinctive school running: in 2009, the Department of clothing design and engineering of Huizhou University was designated as the national special feature construction spot by the Ministry of education and the Ministry of finance. In 2013, the clothing management and engineering practice teaching base was awarded the national level project in the undergraduate teaching quality engineering project. In 2014, "collaborative innovation training clothing application talents" won the first prize of the excellent education achievement in Guangdong.

In addition to the professional and curriculum won the national project, the Department of clothing of Huizhou University is well positioned to grasp the market pulse and set up characteristic specialty.

With the transformation and upgrading of the garment industry, its focus gradually shifted from production to retail, and the demand for clothing retail talents increased. However, at present, the senior talents of Garment Retailing in China are still relatively scarce. In March 2010, Huizhou University jointly set up a clothing retail professional orientation course with Hongkong sun rising group and Hongkong Garment Industry Training Bureau, and implemented the training plan for high-level talents in clothing retailing.

"Over the past 4 years, our department has trained students in the field of fashion retailing in the field of fashion trend analysis, clothing purchasing, fashion merchandising and logistics management, clothing brand management, international fashion retailing and other fields. Liu Xiaohong, executive director of the clothing department of Huizhou University, said that the curriculum cooperation project of Garment Retailing specialty plays an important role in exploring the interactive and case based teaching mode of fashion retailing specialty, and training professional talents in applied clothing retailing. It also provides important support for clothing retail professionals to the construction of curriculum materials and the application of clothing retailing major.

With the nourishment of the fertile soil of the school, the students of the Department of clothing of Huizhou University have won awards repeatedly in various international and domestic competitions.

　 Cooperate with famous enterprises to cultivate applied talents

In 1988, the Department of clothing of Huizhou University opened the school running mode of school enterprise cooperation. It aims at training the applied talents of clothing with the aim of "studying and working together, learning for the purpose of application". The clothing engineering and management practice teaching base of the Department is a national practice teaching base for university students. During the four years of University, students' professional courses and teaching courses account for 50% of the total.

"Trust" in the decades of school enterprise cooperation is the key to the success of enterprises and schools. Yang Xun, chairman of the Hongkong sunrise group, believes that the trust established by the good linkage between schools and enterprises has made the two sides' hearts go all the way, making the achievement of Huizhou University and sunrise group a "good marriage" between schools and enterprises.

In 1998, the clothing department of Huizhou University jointly launched the A.O (Administrative Official) training plan with the Hongkong sun rising group to train the fourth year students in the University for a year. According to the skills required for the job, the company sends technicians and teachers in the school to teach students with pertinence. After one year's study, students can enter the JEANSWEST clothing (China) Limited under the group's work, so as to realize the seamless connection between personnel training and enterprise needs. According to incomplete statistics, A.O plans to deliver more than 300 senior clothing management talents to enterprises, accounting for 25% of the company's headquarters in China.

Moreover, the clothing department of Huizhou University has set up a garment collaborative innovation and development center. Its major function is to train talents according to the needs of enterprises. Lin Xiao said that a large garment enterprise in Foshan, Guangdong needs mercerized cotton design talents, but there is not such a detailed curriculum in the University's syllabus. But the Department of clothing of Huizhou University has studied the mercerized cotton design teacher, so the teacher took the student union mercerized cotton enterprise, set up the innovation laboratory in the clothing collaborative innovation development center, solved the problems of mercerized cotton design for the mercerized cotton enterprises, and trained the mercerized cotton design talents, laying a solid foundation for the graduates to enter the mercerized cotton enterprises after graduation.

"Through the school enterprise cooperation, A.O plan and so on, take measures to integrate multiple resources to train students, and achieve the tailor made of talents. After graduation, students naturally do not worry about not finding jobs." Lin Xiao said.
