Chinese vocational education provider running schools that train students in culinary arts, auto repair, IT and other trades.
Earns tuition paid by students, usually upfront per course, so revenue follows enrolment numbers across its school network and the length of programmes. Its schools are built around trade courses that prepare students for jobs, so placement reputation is what draws new enrolments.

Moat: narrow (brand, scale, regulatory licence). Established brand recognition and school-network scale in China's fragmented vocational-education market.
Headquarters: Shanghai, China · Founded: 1988 · Employees: 10,306
