Dean's Welcome

President Yang Jie

Dalian Maple Leaf College of Technology currently operates two campuses: Daheishi and Qidingshan. Since its establishment over a decade ago, the college has evolved into a nationally accredited higher vocational institution with unified enrollment plans. Nestled against green mountains and facing the sea, our garden-style campus with ocean views provides an ideal environment for students to study and live.
Throughout our journey, we have consistently adhered to the educational philosophy of "Operating with Integrity, Serving Society." With the goal of "Building a nationally distinctive vocational education institution, ensuring every student achieves successful employment, and fostering entrepreneurship and innovation education," we uphold the principle of "Moral education first, capability-focused, and comprehensive development." To enhance the quality of talent cultivation and students' comprehensive competitiveness, we adopt the approach of "Establishing enterprises alongside academic programs and promoting academic programs through industries" in curriculum design. We pursue the path of "Integrating schools with enterprises, unifying production with education, inviting enterprises into campus, and establishing school-enterprise partnerships." By developing both connotation and extension while equally emphasizing academic education and vocational training, we ensure every student matures, grows, succeeds, and achieves—enabling learners to apply their knowledge, employees to find their paths, and entrepreneurs to realize their potential.
Rooted in Dalian and serving the nation, the college focuses on supporting economic construction and development in coastal regions. Through continuous innovation, courageous practice, and active exploration of higher vocational education development, we have gradually formed our distinctive educational characteristics. By achieving zero-distance alignment between talent cultivation goals and enterprise demands, we have provided society with numerous high-quality skilled professionals, earning excellent reputation.
Vocational education is both glorious and challenging—born from the call of the times and refined through its trials. We have embraced the spring of vocational education development while shouldering the responsibility of advancing this cause. As the saying goes, "Great achievements require great ambitions; extensive enterprises demand diligent efforts." Standing at this unprecedented historical juncture of China's vocational education development, Maple Leaf, with greater opportunities and on a broader platform, will surely lead the way as a banner in vocational education. Through our loyalty and passion for this cause, diligent cultivation, and unwavering commitment, we will continue to forge ahead!
On behalf of the college, I sincerely welcome all sectors of society to discuss cooperation with us. We eagerly anticipate outstanding scholars from home and abroad to join us in creating brilliance together. We wholeheartedly hope that aspiring students will apply to our college to fulfill their lofty life ideals.
