IT students face enormous pressure in employment after graduation. As IT enterprises are the end-user of IT students, tertiary institutes should be market-oriented and practice focused while training IT professionals. To shorten the IT studentspsila adapting period, tertiary institutes should continuously adjust their delivery and improve the pedagogical training models according to the demand of the enterprises and market. This paper introduces the reform program and the IT professional pedagogical models adopted by Neusoft Institute of Information, which provides innovative ideas and positive case studies for tertiary IT education.
