School-enterprise cooperation is a mode of talent cultivation of Yuchai. Since 1996, Yuchai has concluded cooperative agreements with famous domestic institutions of higher learning such as Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Shanghai Jiaotong University and Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and sent 220 workers for master and doctor programs. To better promote the implementation of the twelfth five-year strategic objective, Yuchai has intensified talent cultivation. Yuchai plans to, as of this year, hold one or two publicly-financed education programs every year to make workers grow with the company. Yuchais cooperation with HNU and GXU will cultivate more high-caliber application-oriented and versatile technical and management professionals for Yuchai.
