During German Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier’s visit to China, we were very pleased to introduce our dual education cooperation with Beijing Industrial Technician College (BITC) to Elke Büdenbender.
We started the cooperation with BITC in 2023 and support the college with the implementation of AHK exams in the three majors: Mechatronics, Car Mechatronics (New Energy Vehicle Technology), and CNC Technology.
In China, we introduce the worldwide famous German dual education to our stakeholders who want to learn more about the implementation of German vocational education in China, the AHK examination and certification. The dual education is carried out in cooperation between vocational schools and companies. Most of the training majors last three years. The common theoretical knowledge is taught in vocational schools, while the practical training is carried out by companies. The content of the training is designed and implemented according to the real work tasks and assignments of companies. The training aims to provide apprentices with the practical skills which enable them to work efficiently and to grow together with their employer.
We are grateful for the opportunity to talk about Sino-German cooperation in vocational education and training.
Thank you very much to our partner BITC and all participants who made this visit possible.
