Lanxiang, one of China's largest and best-known vocational schools, is offering courses on electronic sports (e-sports), to ride the boom of video gaming in Asia.
国内最大、最知名的职业学校之一蓝翔，于近日开设了电子竞技方面的课程，以搭上亚洲视频游戏的热潮。The school, famed for education in traditional professions including cooking, auto repairs and hairdressing, recently opened an "e-sports college," providing three-month and three-year training courses.
该校以烹饪、汽车维修、美发等传统职业教育闻名，并于最近开设了“电竞学院”，提供为期3个月和3年的培训课程。Based in Jinan, capital of Shandong, the school spent more than 10 million yuan to create the new major, said principal Rong Lanxiang.
据蓝翔校长荣兰祥称，总部位于山东省省会济南市的该技校，耗资逾1000万元开设这一新专业。
The three-year program aims to help students with zero knowledge about the e-sports industry become professionals.
其中为期3年的培训课程旨在帮助对电竞行业一无所知的学生成为该行业的专业人士。Graduates may become e-sports gamers, judges or marketing specialists.
而毕业生或将成为电竞运动员、裁判或营销专员。According to a report issued by Chinese internet giant Tencent, the country's e-sports industry engaged 170 million users last year and that number could reach 220 million in 2017.
根据国内互联网巨头腾讯发布的一项报告，去年，我国电竞行业吸引用户1.7亿人，2017年该数字将达2.2亿。
