We should vigorously implement the craftsman cultivation project and the improvement of "golden blue collar" vocational skills, speed up the establishment of the policies and incentive system for training, employing and evaluating skilled talents, and effectively improve the quality of technical colleges and vocational education, so as to build high skilled talents for the high-quality development of Zhejiang Province.
