Taking pharmacy, mould design and manufacturing, software technology and animation design as the leading projects of four provincial key specialties and professional groups, we should deepen the reform of personnel training mode, reconstruct personnel training program and curriculum system, and improve the quality of personnel training. In recent years, students have participated in all kinds of skills competitions outside school, and won more than 400 awards at or above the provincial level, including more than 100 international awards and national awards.

The third is to start the credit system reform based on the DQP system in the United States. The project has been approved by Guangdong Province as a pilot project of deepening comprehensive reform in the field of education.

The number of secondary branches run by "double-subject" schools has reached 7, and the amount of equipment resources imported from enterprises has reached more than 6 million yuan.
