On the morning of April 29, 2025, a delegation from the School of Materials and Chemistry at the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology (hereinafter referred to as the "School of Materials and Chemistry"), including Vice Dean Li Shengjuan, Deputy Party Secretary Dong Xiaoliang, Yi Yingqiu from the Higher Education Research Office of the Planning and Development Division, as well as faculty and student representatives, visited Puxijing New Energy Materials (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Puxijing") for an exchange. The two sides engaged in in-depth discussions on topics such as internships and employment, talent cultivation, and scientific research collaboration.
During the symposium, Vice Dean Li Shengjuan of the School of Materials and Chemistry provided a comprehensive overview of the school's research capabilities and educational features in the fields of materials and chemistry, covering its developmental history, achievements in discipline construction, and vision for talent cultivation. She emphasized that the school consistently adheres to a "people-oriented" approach, actively exploring new models of industry-academia collaboration in education to bridge the gap between student competencies and industry demands.
Deputy Party Secretary Dong Xiaoliang further highlighted the mutual benefits of industry-academia cooperation. He expressed the school's hope that enterprises would not only focus on talent recruitment but also prioritize the entire process of talent development. Additionally, leveraging the research strengths of both parties in the field of new energy materials, he proposed joint applications for key projects to accelerate the transformation of technological achievements and achieve integrated development in "industry-academia-research-application."
Puxijing's HR specialist Chao Rui introduced the company's core business and development prospects in detail to the delegation. As an innovative enterprise in the new energy materials sector, Puxijing specializes in the R&D and production of high-end polyolefin materials. Chao pointed out that China's current self-sufficiency rate in high-end polyolefin materials remains low, giving the market significant strategic value. With its technological advantages and forward-looking strategies, the company has become an industry benchmark. Furthermore, he showcased the company's appeal to talent by elaborating on its corporate culture, open positions, and employee career progression pathways.
HR manager Fang Fei focused on explaining Puxijing's talent cultivation system and career development paths.

Fang emphasized Puxijing's strong commitment to collaborating with universities and stated that the company would provide resources such as internships and employment opportunities tailored to the needs of the School of Materials and Chemistry.During the Q&A session, student representatives actively raised questions about the working environment of frontline production positions, promotion mechanisms, and corporate hiring standards. Puxijing's representatives addressed each question in detail and encouraged students to strengthen their professional foundations and proactively adapt to industry changes.
This visit laid a solid foundation for deeper collaboration between the School of Materials and Chemistry and Puxijing. Both sides unanimously agreed to use this exchange as a starting point to further explore long-term mechanisms for collaborative research and internship-employment linkages, jointly cultivating innovative talent to contribute to national strategic needs and regional economic high-quality development.
