Five Core Strategic Framework financial
"recently announced the launch of its Five Core Strategic Framework, a strategy aimed at expanding"
embodied intelligence technical
"Galaxy General Robotics, a company engaged in the embodied intelligence sector, the two companies have jointly"
Embodied intelligence is the ability of a physical device — such as a robot, drone, or sensor-equipped machine — to sense its surroundings, make decisions and act, using its body and environment as part of how it solves problems. Investors watch embodied intelligence because it lets machines perform complex tasks autonomously, cut labor or error, unlock new product uses and shift costs or regulation exposure — like a worker who learns by doing rather than only following remote instructions.
embodied AI education programs technical
"commercializing embodied AI education programs, accelerating the digitalization of county-level agriculture"
School-Enterprise Cooperation financial
"Under its “School-Enterprise Cooperation” model, Youlife maintains a nationwide network of vocational schools"
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) financial
"by 2029, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19%"
Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) shows how much an investment grows, on average, each year over a certain period. It’s like measuring how fast a plant grows each year, smoothing out the ups and downs to see the overall growth trend. Investors use CAGR to compare different investments and see which one has the best long-term performance.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

SHANGHAI, June 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Youlife Group Inc. (“Youlife” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: YOUL), a leading blue-collar lifetime service provider in China, recently announced the launch of its Five Core Strategic Framework, a strategy aimed at expanding the Company’s vocational training services, developing technical institute partnerships, commercializing embodied AI education programs, accelerating the digitalization of county-level agriculture, and further globalizing its vocational talent services.

 

Unveiled on May 31, 2026 at the Ecosystem Partner Conference and Brand Authorization Ceremony in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, the Five Core Strategic Framework will include the following long-term initiatives:

 

1. Nationwide County-Level Vocational Training Expansion. Leveraging a cooperation network spanning more than 1,000 county-level jurisdictions with relevant authorities, Youlife and its vocational education service brand, Tiankun Education, will expand their vocational training services through an exclusive authorization model designed around localized partnerships. Combined with investments in digital infrastructure, technology platforms, and vocational training systems, Youlife and Tiankun Education will supply the organizational capabilities necessary to scale these training services nationwide.

 

2. Empowering 100 Technical Colleges Within Three Years. Through this initiative, Youlife expects to establish cooperative relationships with approximately 100 technician colleges over the next three years, with the aim of expanding the scale of high-skill training and addressing market demand for customized skilled professionals. Guangdong Xinhui Technician College was signed and onboarded on April 30, 2025, and Youlife expects that additional technician colleges will enter into cooperative agreements during the year.

 

3. Building Embodied AI Robotics Industry Colleges with Industry Leader. Pursuant to Youlife’s partnership with Galaxy General Robotics, a company engaged in the embodied intelligence sector, the two companies have jointly established Beijing Youlife Galaxy Technology Co., Ltd., through which they will leverage their respective industry resources and embodied intelligence technologies to cooperate in building industrial colleges for embodied intelligence robotics. Such colleges are designed to train high-end skilled professionals in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence integration. 

 

4. Expansion into County-Level Agricultural Digitalization. Through vocational training, workforce development, and talent deployment, Youlife will support the digital modernization of rural agriculture across county-level economies while extending its industry-education integration model into broader sectors of the real economy.

 

5. Global Talent Mobility and International Expansion. Youlife will devote greater resources to marketing its workforce development and talent mobility platform to global markets. This initiative will include both vocational training programs serving overseas Chinese communities as well as strategic acquisitions of regional industry leaders.

 

“Achieving the scaling of Youlife’s vocational skills training across each of China’s 2,847 county-level jurisdictions, as well as expanding into additional large global markets, is a goal we intend to pursue going forward,” said Mr. Yunlei Wang, chief executive officer and chairman of the Board of Youlife. “Recent data indicates that the scope of the vocational education market today is merely the tip of the iceberg — beneath the surface lies a much larger market, both in China and around the world, that Youlife is committed to serving.”
