On the morning of October 9, the Shunde District Nanyue Home Services Industry-Education-Evaluation Skills Ecosystem Training Base was officially launched at Chencun Vocational and Technical School, the Shunde District Nanyue Home Services Training College was unveiled at the same time, the Country Garden Life Services Industry-Education-Evaluation Skills Ecosystem Senior Property Manager Class opened concurrently, and a chain member enterprise joining ceremony was also held at the event.
It is reported that the Shunde District Nanyue Home Services Industry-Education-Evaluation Training Base offers skills training for six types of work: property managers, elderly care workers, infant and toddler development guides, domestic services, maternal and infant care, and home care. Relying on the provincial-level social training and evaluation qualifications of the chain leader enterprise, the base can also provide integrated full-chain services covering training, certification, skills evaluation, and employment.
Building a Distinctive Industry-Education-Evaluation Chain for Family Services Based on Essential Livelihood Needs
Foshan has laid out 18 industry-education-evaluation skills ecosystems in total, of which Shunde has 9, accounting for half of the city's total. The ecosystem led by Country Garden Life Services as chain leader is the only ecosystem in the city focused on the family services sector, and it is also the core vehicle of the Shunde District Nanyue Home Services Industry-Education-Evaluation Skills Ecosystem Training Base. It has now gathered 19 chain member enterprises.
The domestic services industry connects people's livelihood and well-being on one end and the overall employment situation on the other. Along with demographic structural changes and the continuous improvement of people's quality of life, elderly care, infant and toddler care, and high-quality property and domestic services have become real urban necessities, and market demand for family services in Shunde, Foshan, and even the Greater Bay Area is very strong.
The Country Garden Life Services Industry-Education-Evaluation Skills Ecosystem promotes a "position plus training" apprenticeship model for the chain leader and chain member enterprises. The core of the training is not simply issuing certificates, but rather carrying out capability development based on real service scenarios, committed to building a demonstration highland of deep industry-education-evaluation integration and producing knowledge-based, skilled, high-quality service industry talent.
Innovating a "Public Vocational School plus Chain Leader Enterprise" Model to Build an Open and Shared Comprehensive Training Base
This year, Shunde innovatively created a new model of jointly building and sharing a training base through "public vocational schools plus chain leader enterprises," breaking the previous model in which only the chain leader enterprise alone shouldered industry-education-evaluation cultivation work, and effectively solving the shortcomings of limited cultivation capacity of a single chain leader and insufficient service coverage of enterprises. The Shunde District Nanyue Home Services Industry-Education-Evaluation Skills Ecosystem Training Base is the implementation vehicle of this model.
In June this year, Chencun Vocational and Technical School and the chain leader enterprise Country Garden Life Services Group Co., Ltd. began building the industry-education-evaluation skills ecosystem base. The base is located at Chencun Vocational and Technical School and includes multiple functional areas such as a smart community management training room, a home organization training room, a home care training room, and a home cooking training room. It is equipped with intelligent teaching equipment and highly restores frontline practical scenarios in domestic services.
The base's training resources cover Country Garden Life Services and various chain member enterprises internally, while also opening to the outside. Small, medium, and micro enterprises in domestic services and property management in the jurisdiction, ordinary residents interested in entering the domestic services and property management industry, and social job seekers can all register for training.
At present, market demand for domestic services is strong, but industry chaos still occurs from time to time: some unqualified training institutions implement "recruitment turned into training" schemes, using high salaries as a gimmick to induce job seekers to pay for low-quality training, with problems such as insufficient certificate value and unfulfilled employment promises.
The Shunde District Civil Affairs and Human Resources and Social Security Bureau stated that it will rely on the driving effect of this industry-education-evaluation ecosystem to fill the shortage in talent supply for the family services industry, so that job seekers interested in working in the domestic services industry can enjoy formal and standardized training and employment services. At the same time, it will make every effort to guarantee the construction and operation of the Shunde District Nanyue Home Services Industry-Education-Evaluation Skills Ecosystem Training Base and promote Shunde District's domestic services toward specialization, standardization, and branding.
