"The artificial intelligence industry is changing with each passing day. If you don't learn for a day, you may face elimination." This is the feeling of Xie Maohuang, who used to work in the automotive after-sales service industry and has now transformed into a service robot application technician.

With the development of science and technology, new industries and new professions are constantly emerging. On the one hand, the surplus employment population in traditional industries is looking for new employment opportunities, and on the other hand, new industries are facing a shortage of professional talents. How to resolve the structural contradictions in employment and help workers seize the employment opportunities brought by new industries in a timely manner? Vocational training has become a key link in solving the problem.

Government departments should take the initiative to help employment transformation through vocational training. As the market demand for vocational training continues to expand, there are many training institutions in society with varying quality. If professional vocational training cannot be provided, it will not only fail to meet the employment needs of new industries, but also cause waste of resources and delay workers' job hunting opportunities. The government's leadership can effectively ensure the standardization and sustainability of vocational training. At the same time, strengthening supervision during the vocational training process, organically connecting with subsequent new professional title evaluation, promotion standards and other issues, paving the way for workers to develop in new professional fields.

To help employment transformation through vocational training, the active participation of employers is required. New occupations are closely linked to new technologies and new formats, and existing school education and vocational education are not sufficient to accurately match the needs of new occupations. Employers should "teach before using" and "teach while using" according to the needs of front-line application scenarios, helping workers to "get started" quickly and become "experts". While creating value for themselves, it also objectively promotes the occupational transformation of workers and ensures a steady supply of "living water" for industry talents.

New occupations contain new opportunities. Through the joint efforts of all parties, vocational training should help workers create new achievements in new positions.
