The base was established under China's national strategy for "actively responding to population aging" . Under the guidance of the Quanzhou Civil Affairs Bureau, the base led by our college has been a municipal-level platform for cultivating elderly care professionals. Guided by the demands of elderly care services and aimed at promoting industry upgrading, the base will establish“a government-school-enterprise-society collaborative education mechanism”striving to create a comprehensive training system integrating "classroom instruction and practical training, skill certification, scientific research and innovation, and employment services." It will serve as a core platform for the construction of Quanzhou's elderly care service system.

He stated that the college would actively engage in the construction of the base, improve the long-term mechanism of "industry-education integration," and promote the standardization and professionalization of elderly care services. Additionally, the college will deepen collaboration with elderly care institutions and social organizations to build a talent cultivation network that covers urban and rural areas, underpinning Quanzhou's ambition to become a"Maritime Silk Road Hub for Senior Care Services".
