November 1st at the German Center

(Liangmaqiao Diplomatic Office Building, 11F, Unit 1101A 19 Dongfang East Road, Chaoyang District)

Introduction:



China's next challenge is to transform education and skills development to deliver the talent needed for an innovative, digitalized, postindustrial economy.[1]​ Such transformation would benefit not only the talent market but also the companies which are currently facing the growing issue of finding well-rounded and high-caliber talents that meet the needs of industrial upgrading.

In response to the current trends in the talent market, on April 20th, 2022, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPCSC) adopted the revised Vocational Education law[2]​. The revised law requires vocational education to adopt a teaching method that features industry-education integration and school-enterprises cooperation.

About the workshop:

In China, certain Swiss companies who have a proven track record of implementing vocational education and training initiatives in Switzerland have already partnered with Chinese vocation schools and associations. The goal of this workshop is to share their successful experiences as well as provide an opportunity to exchange insights with local vocational schools and talent experts.

中国瑞士商会北京诚邀您参加11月1日在德国中心举办的研讨会"在中国创建职业和专业培训计划：公司和职业学校的考虑。"

背景：

中国的下一个挑战是转变教育和技能发展，以提供创新、数字化、后工业经济所需的人才[1]。这种转型不仅有利于人才市场，也有利于目前面临着寻找适应产业升级需要的全面高素质人才问题日益突出的企业。

针对当前人才市场的发展趋势，2022年4月20日，全国人大常委会通过了修订后的职业教育法[2]。修改后的法律要求职业教育采取产教融合、校企合作的教学方式。

关于研讨会：

在中国，一些在瑞士实施职业教育和培训计划方面有着良好记录的瑞士公司已经与中国职业学校和协会建立了合作伙伴关系。本次研讨会的目的是分享他们的成功经验，并提供与当地职业学校和人才专家交流见解的机会。
