vocational education financial

"a global think tank and innovation platform connecting China’s vocational education ecosystem with international industry needs"

Vocational education trains people in practical skills for specific trades or jobs—such as electricians, chefs, healthcare technicians, or software developers—through hands‑on courses, apprenticeships, or short certificate programs rather than broad academic degrees. For investors, it matters because strong vocational systems act like steady supply chains for skilled workers: they can reduce hiring costs, shorten time to productivity, and support growth in industries that rely on specialized labor, affecting company performance and labor-market risk.

low-altitude economy other

"major emerging sectors, including the artificial intelligence, the low-altitude economy, and new energy vehicles"

School-Enterprise Cooperation other

"Under its “School-Enterprise Cooperation” model, Youlife maintains a nationwide network of vocational schools"

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, May 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Youlife Group Inc. (“Youlife” ) (NASDAQ: YOUL), a leading blue-collar lifetime service provider in China, today announced the establishment of the Future International Vocational Education Research Institute (“FIIVE”) in Shanghai, a global think tank and innovation platform connecting China’s vocational education ecosystem with international industry needs.

Leveraging 18 years of operational expertise from Youlan International, Youlife’s primary consumer and recruitment brand, and Tiankun International Education Group, Youlife’s vocational education subsidiary, FIIVE will prioritize practical, industry-driven research across the intersection of vocational education, industrial transformation, and next-generation technical skills.

Via its alignment with the guidelines of the UNESCO International Centre for Technical and Vocational Education and Training, FIIVE will aim to become a two-way bridge -- exporting proven, scalable vocational models to emerging markets, while bringing advanced global educational concepts into China.

FIIVE will focus on ten core domains:

1. Policy & Governance: Research on vocational education policies and institutional operating standards.

2. Talent Innovation: Cultivation models for high-end technical elites and pioneers.

3. Industry-Education Fusion: Structured integration of industry-academia partnerships and specialized industry colleges.

4. Digitalization & Future Skills: Research focused on the digital transformation of classrooms and mapping next-gen workforce capabilities.

5. International Benchmarking: Standardizing group-based school operations against top-tier global benchmarks.

6. Curriculum Design: Reconstruction of professional clusters and competency-mapped curriculum architectures.

7. Faculty Empowerment: Advanced training for master educators, institutional leaders, and specialized craftsmen.

8. Quality Assurance: Implementation of teaching diagnostic systems and rigorous quality evaluation frameworks.

9. Practical Training: Strategic guidance for technical skills competitions and modern training base construction.

10. Commercialization: Accelerated transformation and real-world application of vocational research achievements.

FIIVE’s research pipeline is directly linked to major emerging sectors, including the artificial intelligence, the low-altitude economy, and new energy vehicles. Its work will span seven verticals, from research and consulting to curriculum development, teacher training, and project execution, with all models initially validated within Youlife’s partner schools to ensure scalability and commercial viability.

“The restructuring of global supply chains and rapid technological change demand a new approach to developing workforce technical talent,” said Mr. Yunlei Wang, the founder, chief executive officer, and chairman of the board of directors of Youlife. “FIIVE provides this approach by ensuring that cutting-edge insights flow directly to our schools and industry partners, thus creating a continuous loop between research, classroom application, and scalable industry models.”
