In the manufacturing industry, on-site engineers who understand both digital technology and production operations are regarded as an endogenous driving force for digital transformation. As the deep integration of digital technology and the real economy accelerates, the cultivation of such on-site engineers has become a topic of common concern across industries.

On the demand side, enterprises have an increasing need for on-site engineers, with rising quality thresholds. On the other hand, the existing talent cultivation systems and models struggle to meet the goals of training on-site engineers, resulting in a disconnect between talent supply and industrial demand.

To address this gap, last year, the Ministry of Education, together with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and three other departments, issued a notice to launch the "Vocational Education On-site Engineer Special Training Program." It is expected that by 2025, at least 200,000 on-site engineers will be trained.

As a national cross-industry and cross-domain industrial internet platform originating from the semiconductor industry in China, GETECH has not only created benchmark digital factory cases nationwide but has also recognized the urgent need of manufacturing enterprises for new-generation on-site engineers. Emphasizing and actively practicing the cultivation of interdisciplinary talent, GETECH has passed the Ministry of Education's on-site engineer program review, thanks to its experienced industry expert faculty, a curriculum system highly aligned with job competency matrices, and a new model of industry-education integration focused on cultivating high-quality industrial geeks.

GETECH's core products—the industrial internet platform "Dongzhi Industrial Application Intelligent Platform," a series of digital, intelligent, and green industrial applications based on the Dongzhi platform, and comprehensive digital factory solutions for the semiconductor, new energy, 3C, automotive, and other industries that fully leverage the platform and application advantages—provide a solid professional technical system and factory-verified digital practice support for training on-site engineers in advanced manufacturing.

Currently, GETECH has initiated school-enterprise cooperation projects with Nanjing Institute of Technology, Hubei University of Technology, Guangdong Business and Technology University, Shenzhen Polytechnic, Wuhan Software Engineering职业学院, Guangdong Mechanical & Electronical Polytechnic, Guangdong Light Industry Polytechnic, and Panyu Polytechnic, aiming to cultivate high-quality new-generation on-site engineers and provide sustained momentum for the digital, intelligent, and green transformation of industrial enterprises.

Cultivating Industrial Geeks as the New Generation of On-site Engineers

"To cultivate on-site engineers with comprehensive digital capabilities in the new era, the core training philosophy should be centered on industrial geeks. Industrial geeks meet the core needs of the manufacturing industry, which is accelerating its digital transformation. They possess an industrial production background and a deep understanding of industrial data, with clear insights into processes, workflows, and business logic, enabling them to interpret data and uncover its value," said Ren Xueliang, General Manager of GETECH's Education Business Division.

To truly implement the industrial geek philosophy of integrating IT and OT in talent cultivation, GETECH adopts a model that combines the Industrial Internet Technology Training Platform (hereinafter referred to as the "Training Platform") with a low-code/no-code platform. This allows OT engineers to easily master IT industrial applications and IT engineers to deeply understand OT knowledge. Individual capabilities can be upgraded from single skills to a composite competency matrix, breaking through predefined career development paths and reshaping the boundaries of professional roles.

The Industrial Internet Technology Training Platform is a technical training device built by GETECH based on its industrial internet cloud platform, starting from actual industrial production scenarios. It features modular functionality, integrated structure, and IT/OT fusion.

Using GETECH's Training Platform, training for smart manufacturing and industrial internet technology practitioners can be conducted, focusing on smart equipment and industrial internet technology capabilities. Two key scenarios—quality inspection of monocrystalline silicon wafers and health management of servo units in display panel production lines—are selected to effectively integrate elements required for smart manufacturing, such as intelligent control and detection, highlighting the characteristics of industrial internet applications.

Building a 1+2+N New Model of School-Enterprise Cooperation

Leveraging GETECH's national cross-industry and cross-domain industrial internet platform and its digital practices in advanced manufacturing sectors like semiconductors, GETECH has pioneered a 1+2+N school-enterprise cooperation model. This model relies on one major platform—the Dongzhi platform—focuses on two key majors, semiconductors and new energy, and collaborates with educational institutions to supply on-site engineer talent for N job roles in advanced manufacturing.

GETECH adopts an industry-education integration center to carry out multi-level and multi-type cooperation under the "industry, academia, research, application, innovation" fusion model, jointly exploring new models and forms of industry-education integration.

Adhering to the new engineering education philosophy, GETECH designs on-site engineer curriculum systems and capability training based on job requirements, ensuring a full match between job demands and talent capabilities, thereby constructing a new teaching model of school-enterprise integration;

Cultivating industry-oriented "dual-qualified" practical teaching teams, offering specialized industry capability enhancement training for college teachers in sectors like semiconductors, and hiring college teachers as consultants to participate in industry projects, deeply engaging with the industry to drive professional development and enhance teaching resources;

Emphasizing the combination of theory and application, through on-campus and off-campus training and practice bases, enabling teachers and students to participate in project development, and collaborating with schools to apply for vertical and horizontal research projects and technological R&D.

In addition, GETECH actively collaborates with industry partners to broaden the international perspective of on-site engineers. GETECH has established close cooperation with the University of Freiburg in Germany and the Hanshiket Research Institute, among others, building an international cooperation and exchange platform for cultivating digital talent in domestic manufacturing.
