University and corporation work together to train tourism talent
BES Woniu (Beijing) Tourist Attraction Management Co Ltd recently held a meeting at Beijing International Studies University for students from the School of Tourism Management. The keynote speakers talked about how to train innovative talents for the booming tourism industry.
The two parties announced in the event that the company officially became a practice base for the school's students, and the school became a training base for the company's staff members.
The school's dean Li Xinjian hoped the cooperation can be a new way to train talents.
He said it's important to offer more internship for students so they can put what they've learned at class into practice.
In March 2015, the company launched Woniu Education Development Foundation at the university, offering 1 million yuan ($153,800) within five years for tourism education. Students and teachers from tourism schools at 10 universities in China can apply for the fund.
