Exploration and Practice of the Path of “Vocational Education Going Overseas” in Jinhua City

Abstract

This study aims to address the problem of inadequate implementation of vocational education internationalization policy in the context of the “Belt and Road”, and takes Jinhua City as an example to explore the implementation path of “vocational education going to sea.” Research has found that Jinhua City, relying on characteristic industrial clusters, has implemented 15 overseas education projects in 8 countries through the “industry-driven vocational education going global” model. However, it faces challenges such as cultural differences, insufficient policy coordination, and difficulty in adapting courses. By building a three-dimensional capability enhancement system, innovating the mechanism of government school enterprise collaboration, and cultivating characteristic brands such as “Luban Workshop”, Jinhua Vocational College has achieved precise alignment between talent cultivation and industry demand. For example, the employment rate of the Rwanda project has increased from 13.3% to 56.7%, and three majors have obtained official overseas certifications. The study suggests that it is necessary to clarify policy objectives and integrate multiple resources to enhance policy feasibility and provide replicable practical experience for the internationalization of vocational education.
