(3) Take the skills competition as a link to promote the in-depth development of the combination of production and education and the integration of schools and enterprises, and promote the reform of the school-running system of vocational education.
To develop vocational education, an important direction is to give full play to the role of industrial enterprises and train talents with employment as the basic orientation. Serving the development of enterprises in the industry is the purpose of vocational education; Relying on industrial enterprises and taking employment as the guidance, running vocational education well is the development direction of vocational education. To carry out all kinds of vocational skills competitions at all levels and hold the national vocational college skills competition, we must attract more industry enterprises to participate. When the organizers study the professional categories and projects of the competition, an important consideration is to promote the close combination of vocational education and industry. According to the actual situation of industry enterprises, the competition items and competition processes of this competition are mainly led by relevant industries, and industry enterprises actively sponsor competitions at all levels, providing experts and industry enterprises with technical specifications and corresponding equipment for various competitions, aiming at promoting the closer integration of vocational education with the actual production of industry enterprises. Taking the skills competition as a link, it has built a good platform for industry enterprises to deeply participate in the development of vocational education, and promoted the in-depth development of the combination of production and education and the integration of schools and enterprises. The skill competition will closely follow the production practice of enterprises in the industry. The training equipment of vocational colleges and skill competitions has been able to connect with production practice more and more, which has realized the "real knife and real gun" to a great extent and solved the problem of disconnection between education and production practice. Industry support is an important guarantee for us to run the contest well. The work of this year's competition is progressing very smoothly, which was achieved with the strong support of enterprises in related industries. (1) Cultivate a number of outstanding players.
There are four prizes in the contest: the first prize, the second prize, the third prize and the excellent prize, which are generated in the proportion of 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% respectively. Among them, the winners of the 10 event also obtained the corresponding professional qualification certificates. Competition is a test of vocational education skills. A group of high-level and high-quality skilled talents stand out in every competition. Employers have a high degree of recognition of the winners of the competition, and they are hot talents that enterprises compete to hire. According to the survey, most of the winners have taken up their jobs (a few have not graduated, but they are still studying) and have grown rapidly in practical work. Many of them, such as Yao Kai and Zhou Zhenhua, students of Dalian Jiaokou Vocational and Technical School, soon became the backbone of employers after they joined the work for one or two years. They are the winners of the National Vocational College Skills Competition. After working for more than a year, they have become technicians in 4S auto repair shops and have begun to take apprentices. Employers often give them higher wages, generally more than 20% or even more than 200% of ordinary employees. According to the experience of previous years, the winner of this year's competition will also become the talents that many enterprises compete to hire, thus attracting more attention from more employers.
(2) Promote the institutionalization and standardization of the contest.
"the State Council's Decision on Vigorously Developing Vocational Education" points out that "national vocational skills competitions are held regularly to commend and reward winners". Developing vocational college students' skills competition is a concrete action to implement the State Council's decision. On the basis of fully summing up the experience of local and national competitions, we should further standardize and institutionalize the skills competitions of students in vocational colleges at all levels. As far as the National Vocational College Skills Competition is concerned, we have strengthened communication with relevant ministries and commissions this year, and agreed with Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security that ten secondary and higher vocational schools will be included in the National Vocational Skills Competition series this year, and corresponding vocational qualification certificates will be issued. In the future, we will research into more national vocational college students' skills competitions. This is only one aspect of system construction. On the other hand, the national vocational college skills competition itself should further strengthen the establishment of rules and regulations, and there should be rules to follow in registration, qualification examination, item bank construction, expert team construction, reward methods, corporate sponsorship methods and other aspects, so that our competition will gradually embark on the road of standardized and institutionalized development.
(3) Deepening the reform of vocational education teaching mode and talent training mode.
Fundamentally speaking, the reform of vocational education teaching mode and talent training mode is to realize the docking of majors and professional posts, teaching materials and technical standards of posts, and academic certificates and professional qualification certificates. The skill competition in vocational colleges has obviously promoted the above-mentioned docking. The Ministry of Education has promulgated and revised the professional catalogue of secondary vocational schools. The new catalogue lists five major series, such as professional name, professional skills, corresponding professional posts, corresponding professional qualification standards, and continuing learning professional examples. Vocational education adheres to the principle of "service-oriented and employment-oriented". In the future, more competitions will be set up according to the needs of professional posts. This year's ten competitions can be directly connected with professional posts and professional qualification standards, and there will be more competitions in the future.
