China.org.cn: The second Vocational Skills Competition showcase brilliant skills

Published

BEIJING, Sept. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from China.org.cn on the second Vocational Skills Competition of China:

 

For those who love Chinese gourmet, many must have enjoyed the hand-pulling noodle performance at hot pot restaurants. At this year’s Vocational Skills Competition, you can also enjoy fantastic noodle stretching performances: In the hands of the chef, noodles magically materialize from a lump of dough in a variety of forms: as thin as a hair, or wide as a belt.

Besides the hand-pulled noodle techniques, 29 other unique skills including the “wooden ox”, humanoid robots, and mortise and tenon woodwork will also be staged at the competition for show, which will for sure be a sight to sore eyes.

Of course, the shows are barely the essence. What makes the second Vocational Skills Competition stand out is the contests.

Compared to the last competition, some new events that require digital technology skills have been added to this year’s competition, such as smart manufacturing engineering, service robot application and VR engineering. It was new consumer demand as well as the rapid development of digital technologies that gave rise to these new vocations and further catalyzed their entry into the competitions. For example, as the whole population ages, the number of working age people gets smaller, so service robots have been widely used in areas like education, logistics and security patrolling. Naturally, “service robot technician” came into being as a new vocation, and request feedbacks, as well as the application and promotion of service robots are part of their job.

Traditional competition events are all the same breath-taking. A great majority of events that appeared last time will make a comeback, while some new events are being added to the competition this year, such as robot welding and computer software testing. The new changes aim to facilitate the application of digital technologies in traditional fields, so as to drive development towards efficiency and high-quality. Setting new vocational skills as competition events will help them garner more attention, which brings in more opportunities for development and larger potential for employment.

This year, the Vocational Skills Competition already received broad attention during its preparation stage. Not only are the candidates in high spirits, but the event is also much anticipated by the public. I think, this reflects the strengthening of vocational talent building in China, who now are bigger in number, sharper in skills, more diligent in attitudes and more determined in spirits. Moreover, it’s an epitome of increased attention and respect for vocational talents from the public.

In recent years, China has been dedicating efforts to eradicating prejudice towards vocational education as inferior to academic education.

A better image for vocational education has been built. Chinese President Xi Jinping once encouraged more workers, especially the younger generation to sharpen their skills and become seasoned vocational professionals. Last year, the revised version of the Vocational Education Law of PRC confirmed the equally important status of vocational and academic education, an act that aims to elevate the credibility of the former.

At the same time, China has also been improving the quality of vocational education. It has deepened reforms in the modern vocational education system, increasing the educational capacity of vocational schools, and advancing the coordination between industry demands and vocational training, with an ultimate goal of cultivating high-skilled talents and human capital with professional skills.

Currently, there are more than 60 million high-skilled talents in China, accounting for 30% of all technical workers in the country. These talents in various fields are playing an indispensable role in China’s pursuit for high-quality development, while serving as significant human capital support on the Chinese path to modernization.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Liechtenstein signed the Artemis Accords Friday during a ceremony hosted by NASA Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy at the agency’s headquarters in Washington, becoming the 52nd nation to commit to the responsible exploration of space for all humanity.

“Today, as Liechtenstein signs the Artemis Accords, we take another step forward together, united by the promise of international cooperation and discovery,” said Melroy. “Liechtenstein’s commitment strengthens our vision, where space is explored with peace, transparency, and sustainability as guiding principles. With each new signatory, the Artemis Accords community adds fresh energy and capabilities to ensure the benefits of space reach the entire world.”

Director of Liechtenstein’s Office for Communications Rainer Schnepfleitner signed the Artemis Accords on behalf of Liechtenstein. The Ambassador of the Principality of Liechtenstein to the United States Georg Sparber and U.S. Ambassador to the Swiss Confederation and the Principality of Liechtenstein Scott Miller also participated in the event. 

“With its participation in the Artemis Accords, Liechtenstein looks forward to advancing space exploration among a strong group of like-minded countries committed to the peaceful use of space for the benefit of all humanity,” Sparber said.

The United States, led by NASA and the U.S. Department of State, and seven other initial signatory nations established the Artemis Accords in 2020, identifying a set of principles promoting the beneficial use of space for humanity. Since then, signatories have expanded to represent a quarter of the world’s countries, with 19 countries signing in 2024.

In addition to an increase in numbers, the Artemis Accords signatories, representing every region of the world, continued to build consensus this year and make significant progress in implementing the accords principles.

NASA co-chaired the Artemis Accords Principals’ Meeting in October, which brought together 42 nations and furthered discussions on the safe and responsible use of space. They agreed on recommendations for non-interference, interoperability, release of scientific data, long-term sustainability guidelines, and registration of space objects to advance implementation.

The Artemis Accords are grounded in the Outer Space Treaty and other agreements including the Registration Convention, the Rescue and Return Agreement, as well as best practices for responsible behavior that NASA and its partners have supported, including the public release of scientific data.
