On August 7, the 2025 Annual Academic Conference of the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) International Exchange Branch of the China Education Association for International Exchange (CEAIE) concluded successfully in Kunming.

Centered on the theme "Boosting Overseas Operation Capacity & Building a Pilot Zone for TVET Cooperation with Neighbors", the conference brought together over 140 representatives from the branch’s member institutions. Attendees delved into TVET’s role in advancing China’s major-country diplomacy framework, and exchanged views on key topics like cross-border TVET collaboration, industry-education integration, and policy interpretation for TVET globalization—all to explore effective paths for TVET’s international outreach.

Qin Jingjun, Dean of SNPU’s International Education School, was invited to speak at the thematic seminar. He shared the university’s practices in jointly building and sharing TVET resources between China and Indonesia, offering the "SNPU Solution" to develop the pilot zone for neighboring TVET cooperation.

Qin noted that to address Indonesia’s gap—abundant labor but insufficient skilled talents—and recruitment difficulties for Chinese enterprises there, SNPU has focused on "industry-education integration and dual-mode talent development". It innovatively built a model with "dual-excellence drive", "dual-mode education" and "dual-integration for core competitiveness". Working with Indonesian institutions and Chinese enterprises, SNPU has developed bilingual curriculum resources through diverse programs: enterprise-ordered training, staff upskilling, "Chinese+Vocational Skills" courses, joint undergraduate programs, and TVET teacher training. To date, it has trained hundreds of Indonesian academic students, double-degree graduates and enterprise employees; its achievements have won international awards and been widely covered by global media.

Looking forward, SNPU will further advance digital empowerment, participate in international standard certification, and deepen university-enterprise cooperation. It will continue resource sharing with Indonesian institutions to contribute more to TVET’s global development.
