After an enterprise is brought into the College, a part of the production line of the enterprise is built on the campus, to implement the college-enterprise cooperation mode combining "theory study" and "post practice" in the College. This model solves not only the problem of insufficient enterprise space, but also the problem of insufficient internship and training equipment in the College, truly realizing the sharing of resources between the enterprise and the College and creating a win-win situation.

Relying on the bridge box and hydraulic and other branches of Liuzhou Vocational & Technical College Machinery Factory and LiuGong Machinery Co., Ltd., the College conducts the external cooperation processing, technology research and development and other services with the holding subsidiary of Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Co., Ltd. - Guangxi Jinchuang Automobile Parts Co., Ltd. and other medium, small and micro-sized enterprises in Liuzhou.

In a word, they can jointly promote employment and promote high-quality employment for students.
