At the same time, the students also conducted employment surveys on the posts related to Digital Publishing Specialty under the arrangement of their teachers. Through questionnaires, interviews with industry experts, and careful observations, they learned about industry development trends, characteristics of talent demand, talent training mode, and suggestions from employers on the establishment of professional courses, etc., to accumulate first-hand information for the revision of professional talent training program.
This practice took the book fair as an opportunity to allow students majoring in Digital Publishing to better understand the book market, have close contact with enterprises, and learn the planning and design of key cultural topics for the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Party. It is a "walking Classroom" that allows students to have a clearer goal for career and future development.
