Abstract

With the continuous economic growth, the social demand for talent has significantly changed. Cultivating leadership among college students has become one of the most critical tasks of Chinese universities. Scholars have increasingly explored and researched in this area. Yango University, located in Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian Province in China, has developed a program for cultivating college student leadership in its CEO College based on the theory of genetic constructivism. Combined with the five forces model of college student leadership, it follows the competency composition and development patterns. Based on this, a three-layer competency cultivation model of disciplinary knowledge, disciplinary thinking, and problem-solving has been constructed. Yango University has developed an innovative model for cultivating college students. It provides a valuable reference for other Chinese colleges and universities to promote the model for cultivating college student leadership.
