Through cooperation with the university’s education development foundation, the initiative will provide students with both academic encouragement and career-focused support. It is also designed to connect university education more closely with the skills and professional capabilities required by modern industries.

The fund will further support the university’s employment guidance and career services, helping students better understand industry trends, explore career opportunities and prepare for the transition from academic study to professional employment.

Representatives from the School of Materials Science and Engineering, College of Control Science and Engineering, College of Computer Science and Technology, Student Employment Guidance Centre, Academic Affairs Office, Cooperation and Development Office and Education Development Center also attended the ceremony.

Strengthening Long-Term University–Enterprise Cooperation

INTCO Medical, INTCO Recycling and China University of Petroleum (East China) have maintained a close partnership centred on talent development. Over the years, the organisations have collaborated in student education, employment practice, campus recruitment, career guidance and university activities, gradually building a cooperative model that connects academic learning with real industrial needs.

An increasing number of graduates from China University of Petroleum (East China) have joined INTCO Medical and INTCO Recycling. Their careers with the companies range from one to 17 years, including newly recruited graduates, experienced professionals and management personnel.

These alumni contribute across research and development, smart manufacturing, production operations, information technology, marketing and business management. Their professional growth reflects the long-term results of the partnership and demonstrates how university–enterprise cooperation can help graduates translate academic knowledge into practical capabilities.

In 2023, the university established an Employment Internship and Practice Base at INTCO Medical and INTCO Recycling. Since then, the two sides have continued to expand cooperation in talent cultivation and employment services.

INTCO Medical and INTCO Recycling have visited the university to deliver corporate presentations, employment guidance sessions and career development programs.

These programs give students opportunities to learn about modern industries, understand corporate operations and strengthen the professional skills required in real workplace environments. They also help students develop clearer career plans and make a smoother transition from university to employment.

Smart Manufacturing Summer Training Welcomes 26 Students

The partnership entered a new stage in July 2026 with the launch of the INTCO Medical Smart Manufacturing Summer Training Camp.

Twenty-six students from the College of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering, College of Computer Science and Technology and College of Science joined the program for an immersive industry experience.

Through workplace practice, professional mentoring and project-based learning, the students will explore smart manufacturing operations and observe how automation, digital systems and engineering expertise are applied in modern manufacturing facilities.

The program allows participants to strengthen their technical knowledge in authentic working environments while gaining a clearer understanding of potential career paths. Students will also develop practical problem-solving skills, teamwork capabilities and a stronger awareness of manufacturing quality, efficiency and innovation.

By combining academic knowledge with hands-on industrial experience, the training camp supports industry-education integration and helps students prepare for future careers in engineering, intelligent manufacturing, computer science and related fields.
