Situationer from News Center (Text by Tang Yan from Publicity Department of Party Committee, Photos by Zhu Jingmin and Tang Yan from Publicity Department of Party Committee, News Center) In the 20 years of higher vocational education, LVTC always adheres to the concept of "putting teachers and students first, satisfying teachers and students", focuses on customers, externalizes the inherent requirements of "improving the management level and education quality, strengthening the awareness of service-based education, optimizing the environment of service-based education and enhancing the service-based education ability and level" into concrete practices, and strives to achieve the tenet of “including teaching and management into services”.

In September 2014, the College established the “one-stop” student service center, providing students with 26 services divided into four categories: academic services, life services, personalized services and 24-hour hotline services. With the opening of the faculty service area at the service center in March 2017, the “one-stop” student service center was upgraded to a “Comprehensive Service Center” of 2.0 version, and 13 new services were added for the faculty and divided into four modules: daily affairs handling, supplies distribution, certificate handling and financial handling. The establishment of the service center has eliminated the trouble of teachers and students of rushing to different departments to deal with one thing, achieved the “one-stop, all-round, all-weather and humanized” services and innovated the management mode of teacher and student affairs in colleges and universities. In over one year after establishment, the service center has received more than 40 colleges, universities and secondary vocational colleges in and out of the autonomous region to visit and study, providing peer colleges with certain experience.

In July 2016, the College established the faculty development center. The faculty post competency models are established through investigation and expert analysis, and faculty post competency is assessed through talent assessment, quantitative assessment, comprehensive evaluation and other means, which provides basis for education and training, talent introduction, post promotion, etc. Meanwhile, faculty development planning and annual work plan are prepared according to the College’s development strategy and respective development objectives, to guide faculty in planning their own career development and provide targeted education, training and consultation services according to different stages and characteristics of faculty career development. The “four-focus” learning and training service system, namely, all-round focus on growth of faculty on all posts, comprehensive development of faculty, each-stage growth of faculty and personalized development of faculty, has been established to effectively promote faculty career development and achieve the talent guarantee for the College’s strategic objectives.
