The Luban Workshop is a program to provide technical skills training for college students, enabling them to be market-ready upon graduation. It has created job opportunities in countries where Chinese companies have increased their investments in recent years. 

The content of the curricula ideally fits local economic development strategies, domestic and international professors and entrepreneurs.

In the next three years, China will provide 1,000 training opportunities in poverty alleviation for other SCO countries, open 10 Luban Workshops, and launch 30 cooperation projects in such areas as health, poverty relief, culture and education under the framework of the Silk Road Community Building Initiative.
