On April 11, a focused industry-education integration exchange was held at KRIPAL Electric headquarters in Zhejiang. The event marked the formal establishment of a Practice Education Base with Wenzhou University of Technology, alongside the appointment of four KRIPAL technical and management leaders as professional practice mentors. This milestone represents a significant step forward in talent cultivation, technical co-creation, and industrial empowerment through university-enterprise collaboration.

Practice Education Base Officially Launched

On the morning of the ceremony, KRIPAL Chairman Lin Xiaomin, General Manager Lin Tiemin, along with VP of Technology Center Hu Changyong, Chairman Assistant Huang Hua, HR Director Shang Youqing, and Technical Manager Du Xuefeng warmly received the university delegation led by Dean Xu Minghai, Department Head Xie Meng, and faculty members Gao Qinghong and Li Kun from Wenzhou University of Technology’s College of Electronics and Electrical Engineering.

In a productive and forward-looking atmosphere, both parties jointly announced the establishment of the Wenzhou University of Technology Practice Education Base at KRIPAL Electric. This base will serve as a frontline practical training platform where students transition from classroom learning to real-world industrial application, while also functioning as a vital channel for the company to engage deeply in university talent development.

Four Industry Professionals Appointed as Practice Mentors

To further deepen industry-education integration and enhance students’ engineering practice and innovation capabilities, the College of Electronics and Electrical Engineering at Wenzhou University of Technology formally appointed four KRIPAL technical and management professionals as Professional Practice Mentors:

• Hu Changyong — Vice President, Technology Center
• Du Xuefeng — Technical Manager
• Liu Risong — Senior Technical Specialist
• Shang Youqing — Human Resources and Administration Director

Drawing on their extensive industry experience spanning product research and development, manufacturing process optimization, quality systems management, and organizational development, the four mentors will assist the university in guiding students’ engineering practice capabilities and advancing the deep integration of scientific research with regional industry needs. This arrangement achieves a genuine seamless connection between academia and the industrial sector.

Strategic Dialogue on Talent Cultivation and Technical Collaboration

During the meeting, both parties engaged in in-depth discussions around key topics including technical talent development pathways, human resource support mechanisms, enterprise practice project implementation, and the deep integration of academic programs with industrial technology requirements.

Chairman Lin Xiaomin stated: “Talent is the primary resource for enterprise development. We are fully committed to opening real-world projects and providing authentic practice scenarios, exploring diversified models such as project-based teaching alongside university partners, so that talent can transition from campus to workplace with zero adaptation gap.”

Dean Xu Minghai emphasized: “Industry-education integration must be implemented in every detail, across curriculum design, project execution, and faculty development. We look forward to building a long-term, effective collaborative mechanism with KRIPAL in areas of scientific research, technology commercialization, and student practical training.”

Building a New Benchmark for University-Enterprise Collaborative Talent Development

This cooperation extends beyond a ceremonial signing. It marks a new starting point for mutual resource complementarity, shared responsibility, and collective achievement. Moving forward, KRIPAL Electric and Wenzhou University of Technology will deepen collaboration across the following key directions:

• Joint curriculum development. Integrating real enterprise case studies into university coursework, bridging theoretical knowledge with practical industrial application.
• Collaborative technical research. Jointly addressing industry pain points through applied research projects that combine academic methodology with manufacturing expertise.
• Integrated talent pipeline. Creating direct pathways for student internships, graduation design projects, and employment opportunities, building a seamless education-to-employment channel.

Connecting the Education Chain With the Industrial Chain

The organic integration of the education chain, talent chain, industrial chain, and innovation chain represents a shared mission for both enterprises and higher education institutions in today’s economy. With the Practice Education Base as the carrier and appointed mentors as the bridge, the university-enterprise partnership between Wenzhou University of Technology and KRIPAL Electric is positioned to deliver substantial results in industry-education integration.

By combining KRIPAL’s two decades of electrical manufacturing expertise with Wenzhou University of Technology’s academic resources and research capabilities, this collaboration creates a sustainable talent ecosystem that benefits students, the university, the company, and the broader electrical manufacturing industry in Zhejiang and beyond.
