Ten years of trials and tribulations, a rank of spring blossoms and autumn fruits
Zhangjiakou Wenhua Electric Power School has won the recognition and trust of society with its consistent stability, solidity, and hard work in entrepreneurship, thus also winning the gathering of students from all directions. The good social reputation has contributed to the strength of Zhangjiakou Wenhua Electric Power School, and the strong support of the government has accelerated the process of "expanding and strengthening" Zhangjiakou Wenhua Electric Power School. Under the leadership of the chairman, Zhangjiakou Wenhua Electric Power School, which is poised to take off, is advancing towards a more brilliant future. 
1. Innovation and Practice of the "Integration of Engineering and Learning" Model
Nearly 90% of our school's students come from rural areas in various counties, and 90% belong to poverty-stricken counties at the national and provincial levels. The phenomenon of dropping out of school due to economic poverty often occurs. In order to alleviate the economic pressure on students, we boldly innovate and implement the "work study alternation, half work study, and school enterprise cooperation" educational model. The school organizes impoverished students who have reached the legal age to learn while working, concentrate on strengthening learning and skill training, and pass skill appraisal and assessment. They can go to the enterprise for internship in advance, achieving the integration of workshop and classroom, student and apprentice, teacher and master, work and product, theory and practice, education and income generation. The Ministry of Education has proposed a three-stage education model - one year of basic education, one year of skill education, and one year of on-the-job internship. The electric power major has been arranged to include: Chifeng Dongyuan Power Plant, Duolun Self owned Power Plant, Shangdu Power Plant, Zhangjiakou Dongyuan Thermal Power Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Shente Steel Company Self owned Power Plant, Inner Mongolia Jingtai Power Plant, Huaneng Tianjin Green Coal Power Plant, Tianjin Garbage Power Plant, Datang International Xujiazhuang Thermal Power Plant, Shandong Power Plant, Ordos Power Plant, Lanqi Power Plant, Tangshan Hongtai Cement Waste Heat Power Plant, Hebei Chemical Group Self owned Power Plant, Tianjin Maintenance Group Company, Jiulong Thermal Power Plant, Datang International Wushashan Power Plant, Jilin Electric Power Maintenance and Installation Company, Jinyu Group Cement Waste Heat Power Plant, Jiangsu Coking Self owned Power Plant, Langfang Hebei Kaiyue Chemical Group Self owned Power Plant, etc. 
2. The Strong Backbone of Skill Education - Practical Training Hardware
In the vocational education teaching system, the level of mastery of students' professional operational skills is the key to determining the quality of employment, and reasonable professional settings and perfect practical training facilities are important guarantees to achieve this key link and meet the standards. Our school's decision-makers have a clear understanding of this and have continuously increased their investment efforts. They have successively built fitter workshops, high-voltage welding training workshops, electrician workshops, electric drive workshops, and thermal instrument workshops, with a total investment of 195000 yuan. In 2009, an additional 137000 yuan was added. They have also established long-term internship relationships with Zhangjiakou Welding Center, Jack Factory, Shenghua Thermal Power Plant, Dongyuan Thermal Power Company, Guangxia Thermal Power Plant, Chifeng Dongyuan Thermal Power Plant, Shadian Maintenance Company, Datang New Energy Company, and other units, and students have been assigned to these enterprises for internships. 
The internship base has established an excellent teaching team and a good teaching guarantee system. In the training guidance teacher team, "double qualified" teachers are the main body, and multiple senior engineers and technicians are the backbone, all of whom have rich professional knowledge and practical experience. For example, welding teachers Jiang Zhenping, Liu Baozhong, Liu Yahong, fitter teachers Li Chunguang, Jia Zhiguo, Xing Yupeng, thermal instrument teachers Liang Xiaojun, Yang Dongsheng, steam turbine teachers Chen Chunsheng, Wang Ruqing, boiler operation and maintenance teacher Wei Jie, water treatment and chemical supervision teacher Zhao Chunlin, etc
The internship base introduces the needs of enterprises for people as the first standard into teaching, introduces corporate culture and management models, cultivates students' entrepreneurial spirit, enables seamless integration between students and enterprises, and is committed to building an innovative, practical, and technologically advanced "gold and blue collar team". It builds a bridge for students to obtain academic education and skills training, leading to smooth job seeking and calm employment. 
3. Strict militarized management and a "one specialist, multiple abilities" training model
With the increasingly fierce market competition, enterprises prefer to cooperate with those who obey orders and have excellent technology. Employees who are good at innovation. In order to meet the needs of enterprises for employees and combine the characteristics of students themselves, the school implements a combination of "strict military management" and "specialized and versatile skill training" for students. 
The school learns the American West Point style school management philosophy, implements full-time military management for students, and requires every student to adhere to military style, military will, and military discipline. It also adheres to routine training in three exercises, physical fitness training, and labor intensive training. Strict and standardized military management is reflected everywhere. As a result, it forms a student's style of "obeying orders, responding quickly, and going through storms", and provides students with a safe living environment and an ideal place for education. The strict and compact lifestyle, the standard internal affairs guidelines of the military camp, the militarized dining order, and the impressive "three operations and one bathroom": including the standardized walking of students on campus, all form a beautiful scenery of Zhangjiakou Wenhua Electric Power School. 
The school has set the training goal of "one skill, multiple strengths" to enable students to not only have strong thinking skills but also to master excellent operational skills. 
One is to strengthen the professional skills of students. In order to help students practice their basic professional skills solidly, the school has increased the total number of professional and practical courses to 80% of the total class hours, treating the workshop as a classroom and turning it into a workshop, repeatedly strengthening students' skill operation training. An investment of 518000 yuan has been made to build laboratories for electricians, fitters, electric drives, high-voltage welding, and thermal instruments, and 26 fixed internship bases have been established outside the school, laying a solid material foundation for student internships and practical training. The school hires senior technicians and engineers with rich frontline production experience as training teachers. At present, a certain proportion of dual teacher teachers in school have effectively guided students to master correct and standardized professional skills. 
The second is to provide education as needed and keep up with the constantly changing demands of skilled workers in enterprises. In order to meet the employment needs of enterprises, the school organizes professional course teachers to learn production processes and techniques in enterprises. After returning to school, new perspectives, processes, and technologies that are not available in textbooks are added according to the needs of enterprises, and school textbooks are supplemented. Based on the needs of modern enterprises and the cultivation of practical intermediate technical talents, school-based materials such as "Basic Knowledge of Wind Power" and "Electric Power Safety Operation Regulations" have been compiled successively as compulsory courses for students, effectively ensuring that they learn the latest and most practical knowledge in enterprises. 
The third is to develop multiple strengths. In addition to learning basic professional skills, the school also encourages students to choose other majors according to their hobbies and participate in corresponding technical level exams. They are required to obtain two or more vocational qualification certificates upon graduation. The school also holds training exams for calligraphy, painting, Mandarin, microcomputer, and innovation ability, striving to create composite and skilled professional talents, and achieving the training goal of "based on one major, multiple certificates and abilities". 
4. Employment situation and employment security
Since its establishment, the school has always attached great importance to the employment of graduates and has continuously increased investment in manpower, material resources, and financial resources. In order to facilitate the formation of a strong professional team in employment placement, a scientific and efficient employment mechanism, and unique placement measures, we have created the "three-year free tracking service system for graduates" and the "graduate recall system" to ensure that graduates can successfully complete their job search and employment. 
The school has established an employment placement office, with dedicated teachers responsible for providing employment placement and tracking services for students. The employment rate, consolidation rate, and promotion rate are used as departmental assessment criteria. Not only should students have jobs to do, but they should also be allowed to stay and do well, and encouraged and guided to actively compete for leadership positions in enterprises. Up to now, over 95% of graduates are quite satisfied with their job positions, and 20% have become the backbone of enterprises. 
With the outstanding performance of graduates in enterprises, more well-known enterprises have raised employment needs to schools. Such as Chifeng Dongyuan Power Plant, Duolun Self owned Power Plant, Shangdu Power Plant, Zhangjiakou Dongyuan Thermal Power Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Shente Steel Company Self owned Power Plant, Inner Mongolia Jingtai Power Plant, Huaneng Tianjin Green Coal Power Plant, Tianjin Garbage Power Plant, Datang International Xujiazhuang Thermal Power Plant, Shandong Power Plant, Ordos Power Plant, Lanqi Power Plant, Tangshan Hongtai Cement Waste Heat Power Plant, Hebei Chemical Group Self owned Power Plant, Tianjin Maintenance Group Company, Jiulong Thermal Power Plant, Datang International Wushashan Power Plant, Jilin Electric Power Maintenance and Installation Company, Jinyu Group Cement Waste Heat Power Plant, Jiangsu Coking Self owned Power Plant, Langfang Hebei Kaiyue Chemical Group Self owned Power Plant, etc. 
Over the past six years, the school has delivered over 500 qualified graduates to various types of power enterprises, turning ordinary rural children into urgently needed blue collar workers in society. They have established a brand for their alma mater with their intelligence and perseverance, and won a future for themselves. 
5. The Scientific Development Concept of Talent Cultivation - Graduate Recall System
Our school takes the lead in implementing a recall system for graduates. If graduates are laid off due to reasons such as inability to adapt to work after employment, the school will provide them with free retraining to achieve reemployment. When it comes to Haier, people praise it for its "pursuit of excellence" in five-star after-sales service. When it comes to Aucma, people think of its "no best, only better" innovative consciousness. The graduate recall system reflects our school's meticulous care for students and the pursuit of perfect service awareness. While other schools are still vigorously promoting a 100% employment rate, our school is one step ahead, taking the stability rate and promotion rate of students as higher standards to demand ourselves, so that students can achieve "high starting point, high quality, and high taste" in employment. It is precisely based on this service consciousness that always considers the school's interests that the school has developed from a training class with dozens of students in the early days to a school with employment of more than 500 people. 
6. The employment situation is quite severe, what does the school rely on to promise the employment of graduates
Firstly, superior geographical location
Zhangjiakou and Inner Mongolia are rich in coal resources and abundant in wind energy resources. There are two million kilowatt wind power bases, wind and solar complementary energy storage and power generation projects, the construction of Zhuolu Biothermal Power Plant in Xiahuayuan, and old enterprises in Xiahuayuan and Shadian. People have recognized that Weixian, Huai'an, Xujiazhuang, Xuanhua, and others are preparing to build thermal power plants and centralized heating companies, achieving energy conservation, emission reduction, environmental protection, and ecological protection in accordance with relevant national policies. We need a large number of vocational talents with professional and technical expertise. Currently, there is a shortage of electric power technology talents, and there are fewer such schools, providing more and more ideal employment opportunities. 
Secondly, order education and menu based teaching
The school combines the types of power companies and majors with high demand, providing students with "order based education and menu based teaching". As soon as students enter the school, they are booked by companies that match their majors. We will increase targeted practical operations according to the requirements of these enterprises, so that students can complete tasks excellently without the need for further training. After all, what companies need are employees with unique skills, and they won't have the time or energy to train them. Students have skills, so there is no need to worry about work. 
Thirdly, internship employment placement work
The school has established a resettlement office, which is responsible for providing employment guidance, job placement, information feedback, and other work for students all year round, making the resettlement work more refined and providing nanny style services to students, making them feel that as long as they graduate qualified, their work is guaranteed. Fourthly, the school signs a legally protected training contract (employment guarantee letter) with newly enrolled students, promising 100% employment placement and free tracking service for three years. Within three years of graduation, if a student is laid off due to enterprise reasons, the school will provide free secondary placement until the student is satisfied, ensuring the legitimate rights and interests of parents and students. 
Our school's educational purpose is to adhere to the principle of service, employment orientation, reform and innovation as the driving force, take the path of connotative development, achieve coordinated development of scale, structure, quality, and employment, and strive to build our school into a training base with distinctive characteristics that adapts to the requirements of the new energy industry.
