TREE NEWS update: China’s Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said on October 10 that the country will train 1 million high-level and urgently needed professional technical personnel each year during the 15th Five-Year Plan period. Vice Minister Li Zhong said the plan targets 50 million subsidized vocational skills training sessions and 40 million new skill certificates, including 14 million at senior technician level or above.
China to Train 1 Million High-Level Technical Talent Annually in 15th Five-Year Plan
The scale of the certification targets signals that skills policy is being treated as industrial policy, not just education policy — the senior-technician tier in particular is where advanced manufacturing, energy and infrastructure capacity is actually constrained. For RWA and tokenization markets, the relevant read is upstream: a deeper domestic pool of high-level technical talent shapes how quickly China can industrialize, digitize and collateralize real-world assets. Whether the certification volume translates into the targeted skill levels is the open question.
