International Dialogue: Center for Skills Development and Vocational Education Holds Research Seminar with Tongji University
During the meeting, participants discussed their current research projects and outlined prospects for further collaboration. Colleagues concluded that they share significant common ground, leading to a decision to establish an international Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) observatory for BRICS countries as a logical next step in their partnership.
Notably, collaboration between the Centre and Tongji University’s Institute of Vocational Education began in 2019 under the international CodeVET project. Implemented at the request of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, this initiative has served as a key platform for advancing professional competencies in vocational education systems.
In August 2024, Professor Li Jun of Tongji University’s Institute of Vocational Education spoke at a session of the BRICS Municipal Forum’s Education Institute. His participation reinforced bilateral cooperation and underscored the importance of knowledge exchange among nations.
The December meeting with colleagues from Tongji University marked another milestone in the long-standing partnership with the Centre, further solidifying their commitment to shared goals in vocational education and research.
