Southeast Asia Information Port News (www.dnyxxg.com) – Wuhan's first professional training course for industrial robot system operators and drone pilots opened on the 8th at Wuchang Vocational College in Jiangxia District, Wuhan, attracting over a thousand students from across the country.
On the same day, a reporter observed multiple drones of various shapes and functions in the drone pilot training class at Wuchang Vocational College. Instructors were teaching students pre-flight safety precautions.
Xie Tao, Director of the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau of Jiangxia District, Wuhan, stated that Wuhan and Jiangxia District are currently vigorously developing artificial intelligence and the low-altitude economy, creating a high demand and broad employment prospects for industrial robot system operators and drone pilots. The training course aims to build a bridge between skilled talent training and industry needs through deep collaboration between government, schools, and enterprises.
Wang Jing, Vice President of Wuchang Vocational College, introduced that the training program focuses on three types of courses: first, theoretical courses covering basic knowledge such as mechanical drawing, flight principles, and maintenance and assembly; second, practical courses, providing hands-on teaching of programming, debugging, application, flight control, and precision operations, ensuring students truly understand the principles, can operate, and can apply them; and third, application courses, assisting students in obtaining relevant professional certificates and providing precise job recommendations after graduation. Students in the industrial robot class can work as operators, production line debuggers, and maintenance engineers in high-end manufacturing enterprises. Students in the drone class can work as plant protection drone pilots and inspectors in fields such as agriculture, forestry, power, and surveying.
Wan Aibo, head of talent training at the Hubei Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, told reporters that the core of an industrial robot is its robotic arm, while the limb components of a humanoid robot share commonalities with industrial robots in terms of operating logic and system principles. This lays a foundation for students to work in humanoid robot-related fields, allowing them to become familiar with assembly, adjustment, maintenance, and applications in advance, enabling them to quickly adapt to job positions when market demand surges.
A relevant official from the Hubei Provincial Employment Center introduced that drone pilots and industrial robot system maintenance personnel have been included in the provincial list of urgently needed and scarce occupations, aligning with the development of the low-altitude economy and intelligent manufacturing. Hubei will continue to increase subsidized skills training and provide incentive subsidies for those who find employment or start their own businesses after training. Next, the province will also conduct professional training for network and information security administrators, artificial intelligence trainers, and new energy vehicle mechanics. (End)
