XCMG Technician College: A Gateway to Global Careers in Construction

In a significant milestone for the XCMG Technician College, all 120 graduates from the 2025 program have secured employment offers in the international service network of XCMG Machinery even before completing their studies. This impressive achievement coincides with their successful acquisition of the prestigious German industrial mechanic certification (IHK), ensuring a seamless transition into global roles immediately after graduation.

The 100% employment rate highlights over thirty years of XCMG's commitment to cultivating highly-skilled technical talent within the industry. This success underscores the effective integration of industry needs with education and innovative international training models. Launched in August 2021, the "Blue Sea Elite" program is a strategic partnership between XCMG Technician College, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Erfurt, Germany, and Erfurt's education center. It skillfully combines the renowned German dual vocational education system with China's vocational strengths, creating a highly efficient pathway tailored to fulfill global industry requirements.

The program significantly enhances the international opportunities for instructors, facilitating the establishment of a collaborative five-dimensional learning system that integrates work and study. Currently, over 20% of specialized teaching staff are bilingual or have international experience, providing critical support in training competent technical professionals worldwide.

In-depth development frameworks within the program encompass language proficiency, technical mastery, cultural understanding, and management skills. Graduates emerge as elite members of the international services market, characterized by overseas prospects, exceptional technical skills, and intercultural competence. The first cohort has taken on roles as service managers and engineers in Southeast Asia, Western, and Southern Africa, becoming integral members of XCMG's global service team.

The program's success is built upon a robust integrated system, involving professional certification, curriculum alignment, teaching methodologies, faculty development, and rigorous assessment. This system ensures continuous improvement and directly feeds into XCMG's core global development strategy by cultivating exceptional talents.

XCMG is expanding this successful model with localized training programs in key markets such as Brazil and Indonesia, where over 3,000 international technical professionals have been trained to date. The company actively promotes the international adoption of Chinese technical skills standards, gaining accreditation as a credible industry training base and implementing talent assessment systems that set benchmarks for global technical training in construction.
