　　The plan is to enroll in September this year, and this enrollment season will start now. We adopt an apprenticeship order class, which can be employed immediately after graduation. Some of the students have already signed up (entry), and some are transferred to majors.

　　【Explanation】 In 2015, the output value of the snail powder industry was about 500 million yuan. By 2019, the output value of the whole industry chain of snail powder will exceed 13 billion yuan. Among them, the output value of bagged snail powder will exceed 6 billion yuan, and more than 250,000 jobs will be created. There are also some problems that need to be solved urgently in the whole process of snail powder. For example, the construction of the brand structure system needs to be improved; the product innovation ability is weak, the mid-to-high-end talent is lacking; the production automation is low, the key technology is relatively backward, and it cannot meet the market demand; the food safety issue has not yet been substantially resolved.

　　(Liuzhou snail powder industry chain) In 2019, it exceeded 13.5 billion, and the packaged products reached 6.25 billion. With the epidemic entering 2020, it will be no problem for packaged products to break from 6 billion to 10 billion, but from 10 billion to 20 billion for the entire industry. At 30 billion, the industry needs a lot of talent.

　　[Commentary] At present, there are about 18,000 physical stores of snails and rice, and about 13,000 online stores, which will continue to increase after this year. This requires more mid- to high-end management talents, e-commerce talents, and chain management talents.

　　It turned out that everyone just thought that the snail powder was just a snack in the stall. The snail powder was not a good place. I used to think that learning snail powder may not be very good, but I think that through the Institute of Technology, these students who like snail powder can focus on He was very respectable when he entered the snail powder industry.
