Since 2003, the school has actively adapted to local economic and social development. Based on the experience of the "Pharmaceutical Marketing Class", it has worked closely with industries and enterprises to explore and form a "five-in-one" education model that integrates the design and operation of base, enrollment, teaching, scientific research, and employment. In the process of continuously deepening and improving this model, the school is gradually carrying out the construction of "production-oriented on-campus bases and teaching-oriented off-campus bases". Through government-school-enterprise cooperation, enterprise production lines or operating specifications, product processes, production processes, etc. are introduced so that students can be trained in real or simulated production environments and shorten the gap between students and professionals; using the 50,000-square-meter Jinhua Science and Education Training Base as a carrier, the Jinhua Productivity Promotion Center and Jinhua Industrial Products Exhibition Hall will be built. At present, the school has built 34 productive training workshops (rooms), introduced 5 production lines, established 12 studios, 3 professional companies, and has 3 bases funded by the Central Vocational Education Special Fund. The total area of training venues reaches 130,000 square meters, and gradually has five major functions: "teaching training, scientific and technological research and development, skills verification, social training, and achievement display." The school divides off-campus bases into three levels: general, compact, and demonstration. The school focuses on building a demonstration base with stable teaching workshops and instructors, batch acceptance of students for internship training, and certain class hours. At present, there are more than 700 off-campus bases with standardized management, including more than 230 compact bases and 57 "teaching-oriented" demonstration bases. Through the implementation of "Three years of early knowledge, one year of planning", the school not only strengthens students' professional awareness, but also ensures the standardization and monitorability of theoretical and practical teaching, and ensures the quality of education and teaching.
The school strengthens the construction of professional teaching teams, implements a new mechanism for professional construction and curriculum reform and development in which professional directors and curriculum leaders are responsible, and implements the "Professor Project", "Master's and Doctoral Project", "High-level Talent Echelon Project", "Double Qualification Project" and "Visiting Engineer" "Selection, teacher training under the enterprise, new teacher "return" training and other systems, implement the target responsibility system and full employment system, industry experts and technical backbones selected from the base will be trained as part-time teachers and then incorporated into the course group, and full-time and part-time teachers will implement "integrated" management. At present, the school has more than 930 full-time teachers, including more than 80 with senior professional titles, more than 400 with associate senior professional titles, and more than 400 with master's degrees or above. 72% have dual qualifications; more than 560 part-time teachers are employed. The improvement of the overall quality of the teaching team has driven the school to further improve the level of scientific and technological services. Full-time and part-time teachers are paired up, jointly apply for projects, jointly develop new products and technologies, and promptly solve technical problems for the front line of enterprise production; the applied research institutes and professional companies jointly built by schools and enterprises promote technology penetration and accelerate the process of transforming knowledge into products and products into commodities; teachers use technical resources and advantages to actively serve the construction of new rural areas. In the past three years, the school has obtained more than 30 authorized patents, received more than 30 million yuan in scientific and technological services, and provided more than 40,000 social trainings annually.
The school actively expands international educational cooperation and exchanges. It has established long-term cooperative relationships with universities and educational institutions in more than 10 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, Singapore, France, and Finland. It recruits students in 15 provinces and regions, including Henan and Guizhou, and carries out all-round cooperation with 6 colleges and universities in the central and western regions, including Sichuan Leshan Vocational and Technical College, Guizhou Tongren Vocational and Technical College, and Hubei Xiangfan Vocational and Technical College to carry out joint student training, teacher selection and exchanges. Through the implementation of graduation defense, work display, and on-site contract signing "three-in-one" graduate employment recruitment on-site meeting, the initial employment rate exceeds 95% every year. It has made a typical speech at the National Higher Vocational College Employment Seminar, and was rated as an outstanding unit for employment of general college graduates in Zhejiang Province. The school's experience in running schools has made special speeches at the Ministry of Education's Demonstration Construction Plan Seminar, the Cross-Strait Applied Higher Education Academic Seminar, the Provincial Higher Education Work Conference, and the Provincial Vocational Education Work Conference, and published more than 20 theoretical articles in authoritative publications such as "Education Development Research".
