3 Selective Challenges - Competency Gaps Companies in China experience significant Competency-Gaps of University Graduates. On the other hand, the War for Talent in China will become more fierce than ever before. Competency (examples) University Project Management Professional Communication Technical Skill 1 Technical Skill 2 Gap Gap Gap Gap Company Needs Mathematics

4 Competencies - Closing the Gaps Together with your company, we will close the Competency-Gaps. Competency (examples) University Company & Horizon Project Management Professional Communication Technical Skill 1 Technical Skill 2 Company Needs Mathematics

5 Vision of Dual Education in China Bridging the Gap Dual University Germany University China 40 years of experience in Dual University Education and hundreds of years experience in Dual Education in general After initial problems with academic acceptance, today Dual University Education with 3 years leads to Bachelor degree Practice assignments are an accepted part of the education, leading to credit points Universities trust companies in selecting the right students Masters in companies are well prepared for their role Professors at universities are an integral part of the Dual Education system Change No broad experience in Dual University Acceptance problems in academia and society similar to those which Germany was facing 40 years ago Universities in control of student selection Acceptance of practice assignments as valid contributions to degree still has to be created Universities as a whole and their professors have to create dual mindset

6 Roles in Dual Education How to Close the Gap Step Today Change Recruiting of Students Curriculum Practice Assignments Placement after Graduation By company By university 1. By university 2. By company Theory by university Practical application by university General Management by company Integral part of curriculum 5 assignments + 1 for thesis Hiring by company (if performance and conduct at expectation or above) Theory by university Practical application by university (partially) no General Management Not integrated in curriculum Usually 1 assignment No clear career perspective Theory by university Practical application by university (fully by adaption of German curricula) General Management by Horizon or Joint Venture as blended learning Integrate practice assignments in curriculum (also: train the trainer) 5 assignments + 1 for thesis Hiring by company (if performance and conduct at expectation or above)

7 Dual University Education for China Traditional universities will become dual universities, which will transfer loose connections into close connections with companies. Tomorrow Dual Universities Change Companies Today Traditional Universities Companies

9 Dual Education Introduction Dual Education bridges the gap between theory and practice: - Theory prepares for targeted experiential learning in practice ( sharpens the focus ) and - Practical experience is reflected with theoretical models ( creates understanding of what has been seen ). Through this dynamic it is possible to deepen learning experiences and to create real-life competencies that allow students to immediately be ready for employment after graduation. Students do not only learn the Why? but also the How?. Dual Education means a change for all involved: - Students have to seize the learning opportunities and engage on a level which is significantly above average engagement in traditional university studies - Universities have to partner with companies to align theoretical teaching with the practice assignments and to compress teaching time by usage of new teaching technologies - Companies have to identify and qualify internal education masters to drive the learning process of students within the companies and offer internships that are aligned with the learning targets. Program Types Dual On-Top Programs as an addition to an existing university study ( Light Dualization ) Dual Curricula, modifying existing university study ( Full Dualization )

10 Light Dualization Dual On-Top Programs ( Light Dualization ) Method: Add-on to an existing university study Leave university curriculum unchanged Goal: Drive employability of students at university by creating a USP in addition to their general degree Reach a large amount of students fast / without delay Programs: Working in German Companies Technical Project Management Human Resource Management Finance Management for Engineers

11 Light Dualization - Example. Junior Senior Semester 5 Break 1 m. 6 Break 2 m. 7 Break 1 m. 8 Thesis 3 m. Graduatio n University X X X Practice in Company Selection and Orientation 1 m Internship 2 m Thesis Internship 3 m Business Competency 32 units (2 per week) 4 units 1 units Company Exposure 6 months Selection and Orientation Internship Thesis Internship USP Modules: Working in German Companies or Human Resource Management or Project Management or Financial Mgt. for Engineers Personal Development Professional Communication Starting Your Career Conflict Managemt. Managing Yourself Success in Job Interviews

12 Full Dualization Dual Studies ( Full Dualization ) Method: Compressing university studies without loss of contents (e.g. via elearning) Partner with companies and universities to create aligned curriculum (university studies and targeted internships) based on German Dual Model Goal: Drive employment of graduates by blending theory and practice education to one Comprehensive learning experience Create custom-developed talent pipeline for companies Programs: Microelectronics Automotive Engineering Industrial Production Business Administration (depending on demand)

13 Full Dualization - Example Freshmen Sophomore Junior Senior Semester 1 Brea k 1 m. 2 Brea k 2 m. 3-2 m. Brea k 2 m + 1 m CNY 4-1 m. Brea k 3 m. 5-2 m. Brea k 2 m + 1 m CNY 6-1 m.
