When the craftsmanship of vocational education meets the ambition of high-end manufacturing, the sparks of win-win cooperation continue to bloom! Recently, Hengli Heavy Industry Group, the core segment of Fortune Global 500 enterprise Hengli Group, once again entered Dalian Maple Leaf Vocational and Technical College to conduct a special recruitment drive. Following the smooth employment of the first batch of students, a second batch of 16 outstanding students, by virtue of their solid professional foundations, excellent practical capabilities, and good professional competence, successfully broke through in the rigorous selection and secured employment offers. They are about to head to the world's top green shipbuilding base to continue writing a new chapter of school-enterprise cooperation in employment!
As a model of private manufacturing and a core engine for the revitalization of Northeast China, since its establishment in 2022, Hengli Heavy Industry Group has created an industry miracle through the leapfrog development of "three steps in three years": revitalizing idle assets of STX (Dalian), building the world's largest single shipyard, and focusing on the core fields of green ships and high-end marine engineering equipment. It holds orders for 185 vessels of approximately 29 million deadweight tons, ranking fifth globally and second in China. Its VLCC order volume firmly holds the world's top position, with order schedules extending to 2029. It has set a new record in world shipbuilding history — four 306,000-ton VLCCs launched on the same day, and its Phase II "Future Factory" was completed and put into production in five months, fully demonstrating the strength of "China Speed" and "China Intelligent Manufacturing." It has won multiple honors such as "2025 Hurun China 500" and "National Advanced Private Enterprise in Employment and Social Security," with clients covering global shipping core circles such as MSC and Greek shipping magnates, deeply recognized by the international market.
This second batch of campus recruitment, Hengli Heavy Industry continued to focus on key positions such as ship engineering, electrical automation, and mechanical design, providing Maple Leaf students with high-quality career platforms with strong stability and clear promotion paths. This not only demonstrates the high importance placed on technical and skilled talents but also reflects full recognition of our college's education quality.
"From the classroom to the shipyard, from the training bench to the production front line, Maple Leaf's cultivation gives us full confidence! I am even more honored to be a Maple Leaf person in the second batch joining Hengli Heavy Industry!" said a Ship Engineering Technology major student who successfully passed the interview. The outstanding performance of these 16 students is both the result of individual effort and a vivid practice of the college's "industry-education integration, school-enterprise collaboration" education philosophy: the college's Intelligent Manufacturing Future College deeply connects with the demands of the high-end equipment manufacturing industry, offering boutique majors such as Ship Engineering Technology and Electrical Automation Technology. It has jointly built training bases with leading enterprises such as Hengli Heavy Industry and COSCO Shipping, integrating real enterprise projects and position standards into the entire teaching process. Relying on internationally standardized eight major training bases, it adopts the "learning-imitation-practice" integrated cultivation model, allowing students to hone practical skills in simulated cabins and intelligent workshops, achieving "teaching aligned with production, courses matched with positions." The college's employment rate has remained above 95% for consecutive years, with some majors reaching 98%. Through diverse forms such as "high-quality enterprise talent recruitment" and "special presentations," it builds a green channel of "position determined upon enrollment, employment upon graduation" for students.
From resume screening, professional written tests to practical assessments and comprehensive interviews, the 16 students stood out among numerous job seekers by virtue of their solid professional knowledge, proficient operational skills, and positive professional mindset. They not only won high praise from the enterprise recruitment head — "solid professionalism, quick to get started, high adaptability, continuing the excellent standard of the first batch of Maple Leaf students" — but also won sustained reputation for their alma mater.
From the first batch to the second batch, the cooperation between Dalian Maple Leaf Vocational and Technical College and Hengli Heavy Industry has entered a new stage of deep win-win cooperation. The successful employment of this second batch of students is both an affirmation of previous cooperation achievements and an important milestone for both sides to deepen industry-education integration. In the future, the college will continue to focus on regional industrial development demands, expand cooperation resources with more high-quality enterprises, and through forms such as jointly building industrial colleges and order-class cultivation, allow more students to realize their career dreams on industry frontier platforms. It also looks forward to these 16 students inheriting the fine conduct of their senior schoolmates, deeply cultivating their professions with the spirit of craftsmanship on Hengli Heavy Industry's broad stage, empowering China Intelligent Manufacturing with the strength of youth, becoming a solid bond connecting their alma mater and the enterprise, and allowing Maple Leaf students to continue shining on the Fortune Global 500 stage!
Congratulations once again to the 16 students who have secured employment! May you remain true to your original aspiration, forge ahead, write a wonderful life at a world-class manufacturing base, and contribute Maple Leaf strength to the revitalization of Northeast China and industrial upgrading!
