(reported by Zhang Ting) Recently, Xinjiang Shihezi Vocational and Technical College and Philippine Technical Education and Skills Development Agency (TESDA) officially signed a cooperation agreement, and jointly led the development of the "Waterproof Vocational and Technical Level Standards" and the "Building Information Model (TESDA) Technical Application Standards" with many vocational colleges in China. This marks a key breakthrough in the field of international standards construction in China's western vocational colleges, and for the first time, it has achieved the export of an advanced talent training framework to the countries along the "Belt and Road" with China's vocational education system as the main body.
As a country with rapidly developing construction industry in Southeast Asia, the Philippines is waterproofing engineering and BIM There is a strong demand for technical application talents. Relying on the advantages of the construction professional group, Xinjiang Shihezi Vocational and Technical College was led by Zhang Ting, dean of the School of Water Conservancy and Construction Engineering, to form a professional skill standard development team for waterproof workers and building information model technicians. In collaboration with Philippine partners, we will combine China's mature professional standards with local industry needs to develop technical standards that are both advanced, practical and internationally recognized. After the project is completed, the relevant standards will be included in the Philippine construction industry skills certification system and provide reference for the development of vocational education courses in Southeast Asia. This cooperation focuses on industry-education coordination. The Chinese team introduced practical experience from the China Building Waterproof Association and BIM technology companies, while the Philippines provides localization cases and industry norms. The two sides will also carry out faculty exchanges, skills competitions and joint certification to help the Philippines cultivate high-quality technical and skilled talents, and at the same time provide talent support for Chinese construction companies to "go global".
This cooperation will provide high-quality technical and skilled talents for the Philippine construction industry and provide solid talent support for Chinese construction companies to deeply participate in the Southeast Asian market. Xinjiang Shihezi Vocational and Technical College will continue to practice the responsibility of the "Belt and Road" education community, so that China's vocational education wisdom will shine on a broader international stage.
