XCMG advances Belt Road talent cooperation as it expands education programs for students from Indonesia and Uzbekistan. The company opened the joint programs in Xuzhou, China, connecting academic study with technical training and workplace practice to support local workforce development and its overseas operations.
The programs give students a route from classroom learning to industry experience. For Indonesia, the initiative comes as XCMG develops a broader local business presence, with local employees making up nearly 80% of its workforce in the country.
The Uzbekistan program opened on Oct. 13 at Xuzhou University of Technology, where the company also unveiled a construction machinery training base. The Indonesian program recently opened at Xuzhou College of Industrial Technology.
Different study pathways. Both combine education and work experience.
The Uzbekistan course was developed jointly by XCMG, Xuzhou University of Technology and Urgench State University. It follows a phased “2+1+1” model for undergraduate students. Urgench State University selects participants and provides their initial education, while Xuzhou University of Technology handles academic and language instruction.
XCMG’s Global Learning and Education Center works with the company’s Uzbekistan operations to create industry-specific courses and arrange internship placements. That structure ties the academic program to skills the company says its overseas operations need.
The Indonesian program follows a “1.5+0.5+1” model. It connects language learning, skills training and workplace experience in overseas operations, with the aim of developing technical professionals able to meet local business needs.
For students, the design links language and academic learning to practical work rather than treating them as separate tracks. For XCMG, the programs offer a way to develop local talent alongside the expansion of its business in Indonesia.
XCMG advances Belt Road workforce development
XCMG said it has operated in Indonesia for more than 30 years. Its local capabilities cover research and development, manufacturing, supply, sales, service and financing, according to the company.
This year, XCMG commissioned its Indonesia New Energy Manufacturing Base and broke ground on the XCMG Indonesia Remanufacturing Center. Those projects extend its activities from product exports to integrated local operations, the company said.
The workforce figure gives the education push a direct local dimension: nearly 80% of XCMG’s employees in Indonesia are local. Training programs can help build a pipeline of people for technical and operational roles as the company develops manufacturing and service activities in the country. The source does not specify how many Indonesian students are enrolled.
XCMG also described a framework called GEMS, a name combining Global with three talent categories: Executive Functional Staff, Management & Sales Backbone and Skilled Service Specialists. The company said it uses partnerships between Chinese and overseas educational institutions to develop local talent, meet staffing needs locally and run leaner, more cost-effective operations.
So far, the joint education initiatives for students from Uzbekistan and Indonesia have reached three cohorts involving nearly 60 students. XCMG said it plans to continue expanding education partnerships, with academic study, industry practice and cross-cultural exchange among the opportunities it intends to offer.
