English translation:hands-on skills

Explanation:
I translated it into "hands-on skills" before. Or if you want to stay as closely to the Chinese as possible, you can also use "hands-on capabilities." Here are some examples for your reference:

Several schools in Kansas put students hands-on skills to test in science

CGUHS teachers learn hands-on skills

A technologically literate individual should also have some hands-on capabilities with common, everyday technologies.

initiative

Explanation:
There's a good thread on ProZ.com about this term already.

I wrote the target term 'initiative' because I think it fits your example well, but that is just one among many different choices.
