EXPLORING THE SIGNIFICANCE AND CONTRIBUTION OF VOCATIONAL EDUCATION & TRAINING IN MEETING THE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT NEEDS IN CHINA

Abstract


 
 
 
 Education is widely recognized as one of the most invaluable assets in the world. Educational attainment is categorized into diplomas, bachelor’s degrees, and graduate studies. From the standpoint of stakeholders, the competencies necessary for individuals graduating with varying levels of education have been cultivated. Vocational training encompasses educational programs or courses explicitly targeting acquiring the required skills for a specific job role or industry. On the contrary, vocational education emphasizes equipping students with the necessary skills and knowledge for occupations, often at the expense of traditional, unrelated academic subjects. The primary objective of this research is to examine the role of vocational education and training in China and its impact on the country’s industrial advancement. Researchers will employ qualitative methodologies to interview pertinent stakeholders, encompassing graduates of vocational education institutions, administrative staff, and lecturers. They will also use additional secondary data about vocational education and training in China. Education is widely recognized as one of the most invaluable assets in the world.
