In terms of teacher training, the school has always adhered to the strategy of "strengthening the school with talents" and promoted the rapid growth of young teachers through measures such as "bringing the old with the new", "hiring lecturers" and "hiring associate professors". In order to improve the overall level of the teaching staff and encourage them to produce more achievements, the school started the "Hundred Flowers Project", introduced young and middle-aged professional backbones 100, and rewarded outstanding teaching and scientific research achievements 100 million yuan every year. The school has now formed a team of high-quality teachers with the selection of Chinese workers and the introduction of schools as the mainstay, supplemented by part-time teachers.

According to the needs of Guangdong's economic and social development, the school closely focuses on the demand for talents for advanced manufacturing, modern service industry and information industry in the Pearl River Delta region, and plans to optimize disciplines according to the idea of "industry-oriented and multidisciplinary development".

Guangzhou College of South China University of Technology (formerly Guangzhou Automobile College of South China University of Technology) is a multi-disciplinary university approved by the Ministry of Education, which focuses on engineering and has a coordinated development of economy, management, arts and sciences.
