Which of the following is true according to the passage? [br] [originaltext]

Xing Junjie, a second-year student at Guangzhou Vocational School of Tourism and Business, earned a spot in the national finals of a coffee-making competition to be held in December by placing second in a southern region preliminary in Guangzhou the month earlier.
        The 16-year-old’s longer-term ambition is to run a coffee shop of his own, using the knowledge and skills he has gained at the school in coffee making, tea making, bartending, Western-style baking, fruit carving, and hotel service and management.
        "The technique is important but I think it is more important to be able to manage a team and all matters in a coffee shop," Xing said ahead of the national finals in Lincang, Yunnan province.
        The key national-level vocational school, which opened in 1981 to train workers for Guangzhou’s White Swan Hotel, the first five-star hotel on the Chinese mainland, has continually improved its teaching model in cooperation with the corporate sector to meet the demand for talent and facilitate employment, said Wang Yong, its Party secretary.
        "Graduates occupy 70 percent of positions at all levels at the White Swan Hotel and can also be found at other major hotels and travel agencies in Guangzhou, with some holding senior posts," Wang said. They earn an average of about 2,200 yuan, about $320, a month in their first year at work, but that can rise to more than 2,500 yuan in sectors such as tea houses, e-commerce, and beauty and hair salons. The salary may increase by 1,000 yuan or so in the following year.
        The school, which has more than 4,500 students on campus, facilitates further education of its graduates in cooperation with domestic and foreign colleges. About half the school’s graduates choose to go on for further study, and it is planning to open an international college in Guangzhou in 2021 to make it easier for them to do so. To enhance vocational education in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the school has launched a tourism vocational education alliance with parties including the Institute for Tourism Studies of Macao and Zhongshan Polytechnic.
