Among the over 1,200 higher vocational colleges in the country, fewer than 30 offer specialized programs in photovoltaic power generation technology. According to Professor Dai Yuzhao, chairman of the New Energy Education and Research Committee under the Ministry of Education, there is a significant shortage of skilled professionals in this field. As a result, many companies have to hire graduates from related disciplines such as electronics or chemical engineering and then provide them with on-the-job training. Most positions in the photovoltaic industry require versatile talents who can bridge multiple areas, and the demand for high-level graduates remains strong.
The head of a leading solar energy company also highlighted the situation, stating that while the photovoltaic industry is experiencing rapid growth and the application of solar energy is expanding into new areas, the sector is facing a severe talent gap. He mentioned that the annual shortage of qualified professionals is estimated to be around 200,000, making it a critical issue that needs urgent attention.
This growing demand underscores the need for more focused educational programs and better alignment between academic institutions and industry needs. With the global push towards renewable energy, the importance of developing a well-trained workforce in photovoltaic technology cannot be overstated. The future of the industry depends heavily on cultivating the next generation of specialists who can drive innovation and ensure sustainable development.
