In 2005, based on the sustainable development of Jiugang and the needs of the school's own reform and development, Jiugang formally applied to transform Jiugang Staff and Workers College into Gansu Iron and Steel Vocational and Technical College. Approved by the Gansu Provincial College Establishment Committee and reported to the Gansu Provincial People's Government, the Reply of the Gansu Provincial People's Government on Agreeing to Establish Gansu Iron and Steel Vocational and Technical College (Gan Zheng Han [2006] No.30) and the Notice of the Ministry of Education on Publishing the List of Higher Vocational Schools for the Record (Teaching Letter [
In order to improve the educational function of Jiugang Staff and Workers College, accelerate the pace of development, and promote the smooth reconstruction of Jiugang Staff and Workers College, in 2002, the company decided to merge Jiugang Staff and Workers College with Gansu Metallurgical Higher Technical College (Jiugang Technical School) to realize resource sharing and complementary advantages, and set up an education and training base integrating various school-running functions such as higher vocational education, technician education, staff training and vocational skill appraisal.
The college now covers an area of 1.3 million square meters (about 1.95 mu), with a construction area of more than 40,000 square meters. Education and training, reading, practical experiments, life services, fitness and entertainment facilities are basically sound. In order to highlight the characteristics of vocational education and the cultivation of students' vocational skills, the college has made great efforts to strengthen the construction of practical training base on campus, with 25 laboratories and demonstration rooms, 28 practical training rooms,1/kloc-0 computer classrooms and 22 multimedia classrooms, and nearly 52,000 sets of practical training experimental equipment. By April of 20 10, the total assets of the college were nearly 1 100 million yuan.
The college is managed by two departments, with education, training and appraisal institutions such as electrical engineering department, department of mechanical engineering, metallurgical engineering department, social science department, practice factory, laboratory, training department and skill appraisal center, and more than ten higher vocational majors such as electrical automation, electromechanical engineering, material engineering, mechanical design and manufacturing, metallurgical technology, etc.
In February 2007, in order to accelerate the development of education in Jiayuguan City, Shanghe Jiugang Company decided to build a modern new college in another new site. The new campus covers an area of about 45 hectares and is divided into five parts: teaching area, scientific research area, production logistics area, cultural and sports area and student activity area. It is planned to accommodate 8000- 10000 students. It is divided into six departments: machinery, electrical automation, information engineering, social science, metallurgical engineering, industrial and civil architecture. The planning concept strives to integrate the school's teaching, sports and living places with the beautiful natural environment. The new campus of Gansu Iron and Steel Vocational and Technical College will break ground this year.
Over the years, the school has always adhered to the purpose of "serving the enterprise and facing the society", and set up majors and courses according to the needs of enterprises and job standards, and constantly broaden the scope of running schools. In teaching, we should strictly control the quality, highlight the practical training links and strengthen the skill operation training. The trained students have strong practical ability, high comprehensive quality and quick adaptation to their posts, which are well received by employers. The employment rate of graduates has remained above 90%, and all the graduates who are about to graduate this year have been employed by Jiuquan Iron and Steel Company, Shougang Company, Baoye Construction Company, Tuha Oilfield, Philips (Suzhou) Company and other enterprises.
In running a school, the school will continue to carry out order training, take the road of school-enterprise cooperation, constantly integrate educational resources, expand the scale of running a school, improve the level of running a school, train highly skilled talents and make greater contributions to society.
