Foreign companies have cooperated with secondary vocational schools in Shanghai to introduce local students to the possibility of starting a career at a foreign company or go abroad for employment, a forum on cooperation between Chinese and Australian medical vocational education said last week.
German-based Bayer Group has set aside a particular class at Shanghai Petrochemical Academy and its graduates may start their careers at Bayer.
The Health School Attached to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine has cooperated with educational institutions from the United States, Britain, Australia and Japan. Nearly thirty percent of graduates of cooperative nursing majors in the school go abroad for further study or get employed overseas.
“The cooperation benefits local vocational education reform and helps vocational students in line with international standards,”said Guo Yang, vice head of the vocational and adult education institution of the Shanghai Academy of Educational Sciences.
