Group Milestones | Sino-Kazakh Collaboration for Quality Interconnection and Co-Creating an Ecological Future —— Youlife International Partners with Kazakh Enterprises to Establish a New Paradigm in Cross-Border Vocational Education Ecosystem

Recently, YOULIFE (NASDAQ:YOUL), a renowned international company, and INNOVA TREE, a leading local enterprise in Kazakhstan, officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement at YOULIFE's Shanghai headquarters. The two parties will engage in in-depth and comprehensive collaboration in the blue-collar service ecosystem, including vocational education, talent services, international cultural tourism, and skills training, jointly building a transnational vocational education and employment integrated ecosystem under the Belt and Road Initiative between China and Kazakhstan.

This move marks Youlife International's earnest implementation of the dual-driven strategy of "endogenous growth + external mergers and acquisitions" post-listing, taking a critical step toward achieving the new year's revenue and market capitalization "dual-billion-dollar" target.

As a well-established local enterprise rooted in Kazakhstan, INNOVA TREE possesses extensive local resources and exceptional execution capabilities in areas such as local educational institution coordination, government liaison, and the operation of secondary vocational and higher vocational education programs. It serves as a vital bridge in the field of Sino-Kazakh educational and talent services.

The cooperation with Kazakhstan this time highly values Youlife International's leading position in the field of blue-collar lifelong services, particularly in vocational education management, as well as its forward-thinking innovative concepts in continuously promoting industry-education integration and talent services.

According to statistics from an authoritative third-party institution, Youlife Group ranks first in China's blue-collar lifelong service platform market, vocational education management service market, and blue-collar employee management service market, with profound industry resources, advanced curriculum systems, and mature service models.

According to the agreement, China and Kazakhstan will adhere to the principles of "equality and mutual benefit, complementary advantages, long-term cooperation, and common development", and carry out comprehensive and specific cooperation in vocational education, talent services, international cultural tourism, and vocational skills training. Promote the two-way flow of professional talents between the two countries, help achieve a cross-border landing loop of "training certification internship employment" for blue collar workers, and create a new paradigm of excellent blue international cross-border vocational education ecology.

This cooperation is not only an important achievement for Youlife International in its international layout, but also a key measure for building the "first domestic interconnected cross-border vocational education and employment integrated ecosystem". By partnering with the influential Kazakh company Innova TREE, U-Blue International will leverage Kazakhstan's location advantage and market influence in Central Asia to radiate to neighboring countries, systematically output its unique "training+recruitment+outsourcing+aftermarket" blue collar service model, further consolidate its leadership position in China's vocational education and blue collar talent services, and steadily move towards the goal of serving global blue collar international enterprises!

In the future, China and Kazakhstan will jointly establish a joint working group to actively promote the implementation of specific projects, and plan to set up joint ventures in China and Kazakhstan to gradually achieve resource sharing, capability collaboration, and brand building.

This move also marks a new starting point for Youlife International as a listed company, continuously promoting business model innovation and cross-border interconnection integration, injecting new momentum into achieving higher quality and more sustainable international development trends!

Youlife International will always be committed to improving the vocational skills and quality of life of blue collar talents through four service systems: vocational education, employee management, talent recruitment, and market services. Empower the integration of vocational education in various regions of the country for new development. Continuously utilizing the engine power of "digitalization, platformization, internationalization, and capitalization" to drive the creation of a globally leading blue collar lifelong service platform. I also hope to leverage my own strength and advantages to synergistically promote urban development and assist in talent development.
