In 2010, China presented a plan for the long-term reform and development of the educational sector. This plan states that government investment in the educational sector is to be significantly increased in the period between 2010 and 2020. Since 2011, the governments of Germany and China cooperate in the German-Chinese Alliance for Vocational Education and Training (AG). The Alliance aims at establishing an open platform and a nucleus for cooperation in the training sector and for strengthening political relations with regard to education matters. “Training – Made in Germany” offers the necessary know-how to meet the challenge in the field of vocational education and training.
This brochure presents eight success stories of skill development realised in a joint effort by Chinese and German partners. With its wide range of training offers and its strong emphasis on employability, “Training – Made in Germany” has the potential to successfully support and promote the ongoing reform process of the Chinese training system.
