Meanwhile, China University of Mining and Technology and Suntrans have signed a year-round internship base agreement aimed at providing students with practical learning opportunities and cultivating their hands-on skills. Over the past ten years, the university has continuously supplied Suntrans with a large number of outstanding talents, who have been fully trained and have grown in the internship base. In turn, Suntrans has provided students with an excellent learning and working environment, helping them achieve a perfect combination of theory and practice.

It is worth mentioning that over the past decade, Dr. Lyu Guo has visited the university many times to deliver wonderful presentations. These presentations covered a wide range of topics, from sharing English learning methods to in-depth analyses of the employment prospects for English majors. These lectures not only broadened the students' horizons, but also provided valuable advice for their academic research and career development.
