Arrange students who have completed the basic theoretical courses to visit and study in enterprises and have short-term internships, so that students can understand the working principles of enterprises, production processes and equipment and facilities, learn corporate culture and experience corporate life. This will help students integrate theory with practice, improve their interest in learning and cultivate their love and dedication. Selecting key teachers to study and manage students in enterprises and grasping the current economic information, technical information and future development trend of enterprises in time will help schools to actively adjust training objectives and curriculum, reform teaching content, teaching methods and teaching management system, and closely integrate school education and teaching activities with enterprises.
