Ways of integrating industry and vocational education in the People’s Republic of China

Abstract

Integration of industry and education is an important line of investigation in current research on vocational education in China. Multiple studies have focused on the integration of education with professional practice, particularly on the integration between production practice and vocational education curriculum. In this focus area, some studies have examined the role of school-enterprise cooperation models in enhancing students’ skills and employability by tracking their internship experiences and their impact on employment, while also providing further optimization paths for school enterprise cooperation. The importance of integrating industry and education is increasingly prominent, which is reflected in the continuous deepening and improving the school enterprise cooperation model.
