On July 22, Zhang Junbin, Chairman of Shandong Kelu Artificial Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd., together with Cui Yan, Operations Director, and Zhang Hong, Head of the Dalian Branch, and their team visited our College for a special exchange and discussion on core topics such as the industrial implementation of AI data annotation and the joint cultivation of versatile AI technical and skilled talent. Gao Hongyin, Dean of the Innovation and Entrepreneurship College of Dalian Maple Leaf College of Technology, accompanied and received the guests throughout.
Accompanied by Gao Hongyin, Dean of the Innovation and Entrepreneurship College, the corporate delegation visited the College's various professional training centers, the AI Smart Device Exhibition Hall, the Campus Ideological and Political Culture Exhibition Hall, and the on-campus Data Annotation Training Workplace in turn, immersing themselves in the College's scenario-based practical training and education system, and experiencing up close the distinctive education model of "integrated classroom and training, and project-driven full process."
Chairman Zhang Junbin highly recognized our College's complete practical training hardware facilities and systematic practice-oriented education layout, and fully commended the College's pragmatic orientation and development pattern of running the school based on industry needs and cultivating practically capable talent.
After the on-site visit, the school and enterprise held a special cooperation symposium in an on-campus meeting room. Gao Hongyin, Dean of the Innovation and Entrepreneurship College, first extended a sincere welcome to the corporate team on behalf of the College and gave a comprehensive introduction to the College's educational foundation and development layout. Our College has built a three-dimensional education architecture of "eight industry colleges + one center," continuously advancing scenario-based, hands-on, and project-based teaching innovation, adhering to bringing industry resources onto campus and production projects into the classroom, building an on-campus real-workplace training scenario, breaking down the barrier between theoretical learning and post practice, and enabling students' vocational capabilities to grow step by step during their studies.
Chairman Zhang Junbin detailed the industrial layout and industry advantages of Shandong Kelu Artificial Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd. As a data annotation industry base officially recognized by the Qingdao municipal government and the leading unit of the Qingdao Artificial Intelligence Data Annotation Alliance, the company has long been deeply engaged in the AI data service track, with nearly 600 in-house full-time annotation professionals and the ability to coordinate and deploy a flexible industry workforce of over 5,000; its business covers six core tracks—intelligent driving, medical image annotation, speech recognition, embodied intelligence, multimodal large models, and educational digitalization—and has long provided standardized and professional data services to leading industry players such as JD.com, iFlytek, and Apple.
The company stated that it will rely on its massive upstream partner resources and mature project coordination and operation system to continuously supply stable, diverse, and highly adaptable real-world project resources to universities. Our College's distinctive programs such as clinical nursing and computer programming are highly aligned with the company's vertical businesses such as medical data annotation and code dataset processing; the complementarity of school-enterprise resources is prominent, and there is a solid foundation for multi-level, long-term cooperation.
After full discussion and consultation, the school and enterprise reached a unified consensus on multi-dimensional in-depth cooperation: First, jointly build an on-campus professional data annotation industry training base. Integrating the College's advantages in venue space and student pool with the company's advantages in project resources and technical platforms, a large-scale, standardized data annotation training workplace will be built on campus, creating a regional AI data talent cultivation hub and an industrial supporting service carrier. Second, establish a long-term mechanism for integrated collaborative education. Promote the comprehensive embedding of the company's real industrial projects into the full process of professional courses and practical training teaching, implement a new industry-education integration model of "teaching synchronized with production, training equivalent to on-the-job work," hone students' practical skills through real industrial scenarios, and broaden high-quality employment channels for graduates. Third, expand the boundaries of multi-track collaborative innovation cooperation. Carry out all-round cooperation around multiple business lines such as data collection and processing, intelligent speech annotation, medical image dataset processing, and code annotation, and continuously explore new paths for school-enterprise resource interconnection and industry-university-research collaborative innovation.
Through this in-depth exchange and engagement with Shandong Kelu Artificial Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd., an important development opportunity has been brought to the layout of our College's AI and data annotation industry base. In the next step, the College will continue to link up with high-quality leading industry enterprises, deepen industry-education integration and school-enterprise collaborative education, continuously cultivate high-quality technical and skilled talent suited to the digital and intelligent industry, and inject talent momentum into the high-quality development of the regional digital economy.
