Cotton has become one of the most important resources to increase peasants’ income, especially those in South of Xinjiang. According to the statistics from related organization of Xinjiang textile industry, however, professional technicians in various textile enterprises account for less than 5%. Let alone talents good at operation and management of textile industry.

People misunderstand facilities and environment of modern textile field. They thought things in this filed are still the same as those of two decades ago. Therefore, they are reluctant to get jobs in textile enterprises. “ Staff in HR Service Center of Shihezi Economic and Technological Development Zone explains.
