Yunnan University (YNU)’s efforts at promoting school-enterprise cooperation were recognized at the 2019 annual meeting of a Chinese Higher Education Society organization responsible for researching partnerships between education and the private sector, at Tsinghua University in Beijing, on Jan 11. 

A YNU report on the training of engineers in partnership with businesses was included in a collection of similar reports, with the university’s efforts highlighted as an example for others to follow. 

Hao Qingjie, deputy secretary-general of the Chinese Higher Education Society, awarded a certificate to Yang Yunchuan, a representative working at YNU careers service. 

At the meeting, Yang Ziyu, YNU’s vice-president, was elected as a council member of the branch institute.
