2024-04-01
In recent years, under the framework of jointly building the "the Belt and Road" and the Forum on China Africa Cooperation, talent cooperation between China and Africa has become increasingly in-depth, and cooperation methods and fields have become increasingly rich. From building schools and donating equipment, to sharing advanced vocational education experiences and organizing training in various fields, to promoting exchange activities such as the China Africa Think Tank Forum and the China Africa Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition, many key talent cooperation projects such as the Luban Workshop and Confucius Institute have been launched, helping African countries cultivate talents that meet local modernization needs and injecting new impetus into the sustainable development of the African continent. The African Union (AU) has designated 2024 as the theme year for education, aiming to promote economic and social transformation, enhance people's well-being, and achieve the vision of the 2063 Agenda. Albert Muchanga, member of the Economic Development, Trade, Tourism, Industry and Mining Commission of the African Union, stated that cooperation between Africa and China in related fields is promoting the optimization of human resources in Africa and promoting its economic and social development. He looks forward to achieving more results under frameworks such as the China Africa Talent Training Cooperation Plan.

In the Luban Workshop Training Room in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, local teacher Jonas Akelei is proficiently operating the mechatronics integration platform from China, simulating the production process on the assembly line, and explaining the operation and operating principles of automation equipment to students. Akai Lai is 39 years old this year. During his further studies in China, he came into contact with the innovative teaching model of Luban Workshop. He highly agrees with this model of combining theoretical learning with practical experience, and after returning to Ethiopia, he applied to teach at the Luban Workshop. "Young people in Ethiopia today are very lucky to have the opportunity to study at the Luban Workshop. I hope to have more such workshops in Ethiopia in the future." At the entrance of the training room, photos of Luban Workshop graduates operating equipment in the enterprise are hung on the wall. "These photos were voluntarily sent by the companies, and they are very satisfied with the performance of the graduates," said Jiang Jiang, the Chinese person in charge of the Ethiopian Luban Workshop. Some companies even offered to send their employees to study at the Luban Workshop. Since the first Luban workshop in Africa was built and operated in Djibouti in 2019, more than 10 Luban workshops have been established in Africa, dedicated to sharing China's excellent vocational education experience and helping local talent development. The Esseruban workshop was unveiled and put into operation in 2021. It is reported that the workshop has been designated by the African Union headquarters as a high-quality skilled talent training center for all of Africa, and provides training services for the East African vocational education integration project of the World Bank. The training targets vocational education talents from countries such as Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania. The construction and operation of Luban Workshop is a microcosm of the cooperation in talent development between China and Africa in recent years. Africa is the youngest continent in the world in terms of population, and cooperation in talent development between China and Africa can help Africa transform its population advantage into a development dividend. The China Africa Vocational Education Alliance has cooperated with countries such as Tanzania, Seychelles, Rwanda, and Ethiopia to revise and develop job standards and professional teaching standards for key industries in the national economy. Deputy Executive Secretary of the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology of Tanzania, Ruzimula, stated that Tanzania and China
