Applying artificial intelligence research to practical use, Xiong'an New Area in Hebei province is using a new training base to connect talent development with corporate demand and real-world projects.
Launching operations on Thursday with the opening of Xiong'an's first AI training class, the base combines hands-on training in AI and information technology, with courses designed around the actual capabilities required for specific jobs.
"The curriculum is developed by starting with real-world needs and working backward to define the knowledge and practical skills trainees require," said Ma Yangbiao, general manager of Xiong'an Science and Technology Industrial Park Development and Management Co Ltd, the parent company of the base's operator.
The base targets users including centrally administered State-owned enterprises and universities relocating to Xiong'an, government departments and public institutions in the new area, as well as universities and companies in nearby provinces, Ma said.
