This outstanding achievement, a 100% employment rate into international service positions, underscores XCMG’s over thirty years of commitment to cultivating high-caliber technical talent. It highlights the success of deeply integrating industry with education and innovating international training models. The “Blue Sea Elite” program, launched in August 2021 through a strategic partnership between XCMG Technician College, the Erfurt Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI), and the Erfurt Educational Centre in Germany, masterfully blends the renowned German dual-system vocational education with Chinese vocational strengths.

The program significantly enhances the international capabilities of instructors, fostering a collaborative, five-dimensional teaching system integrating work and study.
