On August 5, the 1st Chinese University Employment and Education Conference was held in Xi'an International Exhibition Center, Shaanxi Province. As Taizhou University is among the first batch of employment and education “co-productive operation plus”, Jin Linghong, head of the Academic Affairs Department, was invited to attend the conference and, as a representative of the application-oriented universities, shared TU’s employment and education ideas, models and initial results in the round-table dialogue on the theme of "co-productive operation".

Lin Huiqing, vice president of China Association of Higher Education and former Vice Minister of the Ministry of Education, put forward three suggestions. First, implement the fundamental task of building morality and cultivating people, and integrate employment education into the whole process of talent training. Second, focus on the needs of economic and social development, and effectively realize the linkage between employment and education. Third, give full play to the role of the educational institution, and build a support system for employment education with the participation of all college staff.

Wu Aihua, deputy director of College Students Department of the Ministry of Education, made a keynote report, in which he analyzed the popularization of higher education and the new employment situation, and introduced the phased achievements of the employment and education projects promoted by the Ministry of education.

At the conference, China Association of Higher Education launched the "co-productive operation" with education as the core.
