The school used to be quite prestigious, with graduates guaranteed job placements, whether assigned to organizations or port and shipping enterprises, all held a cadre status.
Now, although it has been upgraded to a Shipping Academy, it no longer offers secondary vocational classes but only associate degree classes. However, these graduates are no longer guaranteed job placements; instead, they are placed in relevant shipping enterprises, such as providing senior crew members for Zhang Asheng's shipping management company.
Compared to other institutions, the employment rate is still quite good, but it can no longer produce cadres as it used to. It's said that some alumni who have entered leadership roles no longer take pride in their alma mater and pursue further studies for more impressive diplomas in various ways.
Is it embarrassing to have graduated from the former Binjiang Water Transport School or Binjiang Shipping School?
