Yu Chang Technical Commercial Vocational High School cultivates cross domain talents through vocational transformation

        16-18 years old is an important starting point for self exploration and knowledge accumulation. With the advancement and widespread application of technology, the way children learn today is very different from the past. Yu Chang Technical Commercial Vocational High School, as the youngest educational institution in Far Eastern Group, means that the generation gap between teachers and students is the largest. How to innovate and design vocational courses to assist students in further education and employment?

        Listen to students' innovative teaching

        In the face of rapidly changing industrial development, Yu Chang Technical Commercial Vocational High School is committed to understanding students' thoughts in order to develop educational policies that are tailored to their needs and achieve better learning outcomes. Generation Z students grew up in an era of high digitization and rapid information flow, also known as digital natives. They are accustomed to quickly acquiring knowledge through digital platforms and are particularly sensitive to why they need to learn. They look forward to learning content that can be applied to practical situations and future careers. In addition, compared to traditional linear learning, Generation Z prefers to flexibly integrate various professional knowledge and possess "cross disciplinary abilities"; In terms of career development, there is also a greater emphasis on self-worth, work significance, learning opportunities, and development.

        However, with the acceleration of competition among enterprises, the gap between the teaching content of traditional vocational education and industry development is gradually widening. In addition, students have limited understanding of the industry, and the resources and participation of enterprises in education still need to be improved, which is deepening the gap between learning and application. Yu Chang Technical Commercial Vocational High School started with vocational education and attaches great importance to the spirit of applying what is learned. It has formulated a strategy of "learning flexibility, curriculum industrialization, and dual track promotion and employment" to align with the learning orientation of the new generation.

                Application of Cross Domain Elasticity

        In terms of curriculum design, Yu Chang Technical Commercial Vocational High School combines the pulse of social development and integrates smart technology into the teaching content of various subjects. It offers courses such as "AI Basic Literacy", "Data Analysis and Intelligent Applications", and "AI Assisted Design and Production" to lead students on the first mile of learning AI knowledge.

        At the same time, the school has also changed the previous model of teachers giving lectures unilaterally and students reviewing and memorizing, promoting thematic teaching methods and encouraging students to collaborate across disciplines. For example, through the topics of "dining and tourism" and "marketing", students are encouraged to think about how to provide customized catering service experiences for consumers; The topics of "motors" and "AI applications" will be led by teachers to inspire students to come up with intelligent solutions; The topics of "Design" and "Digital Media" allow Generation Z to unleash their creativity and explore new forms of visual communication. We hope to cultivate students' integration ability and innovative thinking through the latest industry knowledge and interdisciplinary diverse learning models, and become talents with cross domain capabilities.

        The group supports the mutual benefit between industry and academia

        As Yu Chang Technical Commercial Vocational High School innovates its teaching model internally, it also strengthens its connections with enterprises externally. When it comes to Collaboration between industry and school, Far Eastern Group's abundant corporate resources are undoubtedly the biggest advantage of Yu Chang Technical Commercial Vocational High School. The school collaborates with affiliated enterprises to plan special cooperation topics, such as optimizing enterprise service processes, digital marketing projects, and technology application topics. Through the process, students also observe the actual operational mechanisms of enterprises and learn how to truly solve problems.

        In addition, the school has established an "industry mentor and lecture system", inviting business professionals to share industry trends, guide topics or collaborate on teaching, and even assist in career planning. It has also specially designed a "systematic internship system" to establish a stable internship channel (similar to tiered teaching cooperation) with affiliated enterprises and partner companies, allowing students to be exposed to workplace needs and work culture during their school years, and creating a diversified development path that combines further education and employment. The satisfaction of internship students by enterprises, the results of collaboration between industry and school projects, the proportion of pre graduation admissions or internship transfers, and even the employment and academic performance of graduates are not only used to quantify educational achievements, but also an important basis for schools to continuously optimize courses.

        Lifelong learning towards the future

        Undeniably, facing the large number of new recruits in the workplace every year, "certification" is definitely the fastest way for enterprises to identify the technical level of talents. To this end, Yu Chang Technical Commercial Vocational High School encourages students to obtain industry certifications or participate in skills competitions during their studies, which can not only test their learning outcomes but also serve as a stepping stone for their future careers.

        Given the rapid development of technology and the increasingly blurred boundaries of industries, Yu Chang Technical Commercial Vocational High School believes that cross domain integration ability, digital and AI application ability, and problem-solving and innovation ability have become the three essential conditions for top talents. The school will guide students to have the ability to continuously learn and grow in the rapidly changing era through "AI education introduction, collaboration between industry and school deepening, international and cross domain learning, Far Eastern Group system resource integration", and shine in the industry and society.
