This city’s Sino-German dual vocational training industrial park is a new initiative to localise the dual training system and combines functions such as skills training, testing and certification as well as instructor training. Currently, well-known vocational training institutes such as Christiani, Siemens and Bosch Rexroth have set up bases there.

The 2024 German Dual Vocational Education Examination Standards and Taicang Vocational Education Talent Development Seminar was held to share the latest talent training standards and practices of German dual vocational education, discuss future development trends and innovative talent training models, and closely combine the industrial development needs of Taicang and the Yangtze River Delta region to provide new ideas and new solutions for the development of modern apprenticeship with Chinese characteristics. Xu Huadong, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and Mayor, and Helmut Fromm, Christiani’s Managing Director, attended the event.
At the scene, Xu Huadong and Helmut Fromm jointly unveiled the training center in Taicang. As a new benchmark for Sino-German vocational education cooperation, the center will carry out professional teacher training for new energy vehicles for vocational colleges and enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta region and surrounding areas, further promoting the seamless connection of education chain, talent chain, and industrial chain, cultivate high-level skilled talents for Taicang, Jiangsu, and even China’s new energy vehicle industry, and build a Sino-German new energy vehicle talent training base.
At the event, Helmut Fromm delivered a speech and shared the direction, innovative applications, and cases of the German dual vocational education examination around the theme of “Building a Talent Assessment System that Meets the Needs of the Industry by Drawing on the German Dual Vocational Education Examination Standards”. The high-tech zone carried out a vocational education promotion and introduced in detail the specific practice of Taicang to further promote the integration of industry and education and actively promote the reform of the dual system talent training model. Before the start of the event, Xu Huadong met with Helmut Fromm and his delegation, and the two sides had in-depth exchanges on further strengthening Sino-German cooperation in vocational education.
Further perspective
The dual education system is the highlight of Taicang’s cooperation with Germany. As the leading position of collaboration with Germany, the high-tech zone has always adhered to dual vocational education, made every effort to build the Sino-German dual vocational education industrial park, and explored the development of a one-stop service platform for dual talent management that accurately matches industrial parks, enterprises and talents.
Next, the high-tech zone will accelerate the construction of a vocational education system integrating industry and education and further integrate the resources of the Sino-German dual education ecosystem while continuing to fully exploit the advantages of dual system empowerment to continuously meet the demand for applied talents for Taicang’s economic and social development.
