BEIJING, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A report from China Daily
Tianjin launched its 2025 Skills Week on May 13 in the city's Hedong district, placing a strong focus on vocational training and employment.
At the opening ceremony, the city rolled out the "Skills Illuminate the Future" campaign to deliver targeted vocational training in key sectors such as advanced manufacturing, eldercare and childcare services, modern service industries, and emerging occupations.
The initiative is designed to support key employment groups by aligning skills training with job placement services. Over 100,000 people are expected to benefit from subsidized training programs throughout the year.
In recent years, Tianjin has promoted the "Haihe Craftsman" construction project, continuously enhancing vocational skills development and strengthening the skilled workforce.
Training system
Tianjin has established a comprehensive training system led by enterprises, supported by vocational schools, guided by government policies, and backed by society. The city issued vocational skills training regulations to promote a rule-of-law approach to skills training. Since 2021, Tianjin has delivered 732,000 subsidized training sessions, surpassing the targets set in the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25).
Skills evaluation
A performance- and competency-based skills evaluation system has been refined. Enterprises are encouraged to independently assess and appoint senior technicians. To date, Tianjin has appointed 87 chief technicians and 99 senior technicians, with a total of 450,000 skill level certifications issued.
Platform development
In addition to a national public training center, the city has also established 558 enterprise training centers and built a robust infrastructure of high-skilled talent bases and master studios. This includes 38 national and 65 municipal high-skilled talent training bases, along with 45 national and 97 municipal master studios, providing strong support for talent development.
Skills competitions
Tianjin has successfully hosted five consecutive "Haihe Craftsman Cup" competitions, each featuring over 100 events and attracting nearly 100,000 participants. The city also hosted the 2nd National Vocational Skills Competition in 2023, achieving significant results. Tianjin's training base contributed to China's success at the 47th World Skills Competition, where the national team won seven gold medals and one Medallion for Excellence.
Technical education
Tianjin currently has 15 technical schools with a total enrollment of 22,400 students and a graduate employment rate exceeding 98 percent. The city emphasizes Party leadership, school-enterprise cooperation, and diverse educational models, while promoting integrated learning and work programs to improve program alignment and education quality.
Talent incentives
The city established the Haihe Craftsman Award, selecting 10 winners annually, each receiving a 200,000 yuan ($27,780) reward. Every two years, 100 "technical experts" are recognized with a 20,000 yuan award. To date, Tianjin has named 50 "Haihe Craftsman" and 739 "Technical Expert", some of whom have received special government allowances from the State Council.
Brand building
Tianjin continues to promote the "Haihe Craftsman" brand through activities such as Skills Week, award ceremonies, and the establishment of training bases and "craftsman homes". These efforts help foster a spirit of craftsmanship and cultivate a social environment that values skilled labor.

Tianjin boosts workforce development
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- From January 6–9, 2026, visitors can experience Arspura's next-generation range hoods at LVCC - South Hall 1- Booth 30725, where the brand will demonstrate how cleaner kitchen air can make everyday cooking more comfortable and confidence-building—especially for households that are more sensitive to fumes, odors, and lingering particles. For air-quality-conscious users, including people prone to nasal sensitivity, Arspura will highlight how thoughtful ventilation can help keep the cooking space feeling fresher and easier to enjoy.
Cooking fumes and fine particles are often invisible, yet they can linger long after a meal is finished. For sensitive groups, this hidden exposure can make cooking uncomfortable or even stressful. At CES 2026, Arspura brings this overlooked issue into focus, showing how thoughtful airflow design and targeted ventilation can help households cook freely while breathing more comfortably.
CES Pepcom Media Day Preview
Before CES opens, Arspura will participate in CES Pepcom Media Day on Monday, January 5, 2026 (7:00–10:30 PM) at Paris Las Vegas. Pepcom is a media-focused preview event where journalists, creators, and analysts can explore products, schedule interviews, and see early demonstrations ahead of the show.
A Three-Day CES Experience Focused on Health, Living, and Use
Arspura's CES program is structured as a three-day journey that moves from scientific understanding to real-life experience.
Day 1—Technology Discovery Day: Uncovering the Invisible Health Threats in the Kitchen
Tuesday, January 6, 2026 | 14:00–15:00
The opening day focuses on building scientific trust by reframing kitchen air as a health issue rather than a comfort concern. Arspura will spotlight the often-overlooked risks of cooking-related pollutants and explain why kitchen air quality deserves greater attention in everyday homes.
A key highlight is an expert talk by Professor Francesca Dominici of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, a leading authority on air pollution and health. Drawing on her research into PM2.5 exposure, she will share why indoor air—especially in kitchens—matters for respiratory and overall wellbeing. Building on this scientific perspective, Arspura will introduce its IQV™ multiple-airflow technology designed to capture smoke and fine particles at the source before they spread into the breathing zone.
In addition to the expert session, Arspura will welcome invited distributors and channel partners for a focused conversation on 2026 collaboration priorities, including partnership frameworks, support resources, and go-to-market alignment. Distributors interested in exploring opportunities are encouraged to visit the booth and connect with the team during Day 1.
Day 2—Healthy Living Day: Redefining the Smoke-Free Kitchen Standard
Wednesday, January 7, 2026 | 14:00–15:00
Day 2 brings "Better Air, Pure Life" into real kitchens—showing how a smoke-free space can quietly raise everyday comfort and quality of life.
- Smoke demo: Controlled smoke tests to visualize capture performance and how quickly air clears in the breathing zone.
- Sensitive-friendly: Shows how maintaining a clearer breathing zone can help people sensitive to fumes (e.g., nasal or respiratory discomfort).
- Family-ready: Demonstrates how fast, well-directed ventilation helps kitchens feel fresher during cooking and after meals.
- Takeaway: "Smoke-free" as a lifestyle standard—less lingering odor, calmer cooking, and a more comfortable home.
Visitors will leave with a clear understanding of what a healthier kitchen should feel like, as a high-tech kitchen standard shaped by precision airflow design and pure air performance.
Day 3—User Experience Day: The Easy Everyday of a Healthy Kitchen
Thursday, January 8, 2026 | 14:00–15:00
The final day emphasizes hands-on interaction. Arspura will invite three pairs of real users to share everyday experiences, while visitors explore how health-focused ventilation and easy maintenance make a "healthy kitchen" practical for daily life.
