It is well known that Australian vocational education is highly collaborative between industry and education, with a national qualifications framework, a national regulatory and quality assurance system and a well-established vocational teacher accreditation system. TAFE (Technical and Further Education, or TAFE) is the representative of the typical vocational education model that has been recognised and adopted by more and more countries around the world

TAFE Education Mode Reform Project aims to deeply investigate the key components of Australia vocational education system including Competency oriented Curriculum and competency based training and assessment, and most importantly to contextualise and integrate those concepts, methodologies into the teaching practice of Beijing vocational colleges and schools.

The project provides the opportunities for vocational teachers, colleges and schools to test out new ideas that have been used in other countries and develop their own education system that can be recognised internationally while represents Beijing and China. 

This long-term project is not only about learning new concepts and skills, but is more focusing on how to localise and put into practice effectively.

Joint Programs

• Universities and Vocational Schools/Colleges in China collaborates with educational institute from another country to cultivate international talents through a coherent approach, dovetailing with overseas higher vocational education, undergraduate education up to professional master’s education.
• Both parties jointly develop integrated talent training programs, through which the students will be able to learn subjects from both Chinese and Foreign curriculum, experience foreign teaching styles, master a foreign language and have chances of study tours and further study abroad. 
• To explore the construction of a modern vocational education talent training system that links higher vocational education – applied undergraduate – master’s degree, so as to build a distinctive, world-class vocational institution with international competitiveness in talent training.

The range of courses includes Accounting, Business and Management, Early Childhood Education, Aged care, Mechanical engineering, Electromechanics/Robotics, Smart home, Urban Planning, Renewable Energy Technology, Business Informatics, Computer science, Information and Communication Systems and services, Tourism, Event management, Hospitality, Logistics, Marketing, etc.

Course replacement is the partial replacement of existing courses in vocational schools with courses in the same area and at the same level from overseas education providers. Depending on the specialism, the compulsory or optional courses of the relevant institution are partially replaced by units of overseas institutions; the existing academic education model is reformed by using practical teaching methods and practical course contents; the foreign curriculum system can be used to fill up the gaps of the original academic education curriculum system, meeting the needs of international skilled talents and allowing the students to learn international courses without going abroad. Of course, this project can prepare the students for study abroad in the future if they want, and help them become more competitive in the labor market.

The partner institutions can select the replacement units based on the similarities and differences between the Chinese and international curriculums, taking into account the actual situation of the institution. The partner institution can then work together to establish a final teaching program and the actual teaching plan.

Course replacement will help colleges/schools to improve in four aspects:

1. Learning resources: outdated learning materials that are out of touch with the real world needs → advanced learning materials that meet international standards.
2. Education mode: traditional subject-based education with an emphasis on theory → a project-oriented learning model with an emphasis on practice.
3. School management: new ideas for training and learning management.
4. Learning support and services: provides an international network of resources, teaching, technology, marketing and international exchange and other shared resources.

This program is aiming to provide a general awareness of advanced concepts in international vocational education, encourage reflection on teachers own teaching philosophy, and understanding of the relationship between competency standards and learning outcomes.

The foundation modules are specifically designed for the continuous development and continuing education work of teachers in vocational institutes.

The interactive learning resources on AVEA’s online learning platform will automatically record the activities and progress of participants, including: online learning duration, assignments and task completion status, assignment quality, which can be used as proof of teachers’ continuing education.

The TVET CBT Foundation Modules consists of six modules as below:

• TVET International Perspective and Thinking
• Competency-based Training System and Australia National Vocational Qualifications Framework
• Facilitate Learners Competency
• Assess Learners Competency
• Learner Differences and Needs
• Professional Development and Life-long Learning of Trainers and Assessor

At present, the issue of ageing population is becoming a growing global concern. It is estimated that by 2050, the world’s population aged 60 and over will be double that of today, with China’s ageing population reaching 440 million. This will pose serious challenges to the economic structures, healthcare systems, social services and cultural traditions of many countries, including China.

Australia has a rich experience in aged care, which began in 1940, and has established a relatively well-developed system of aged care services and training for aged care professionals, which has become one of the world’s leading examples of excellent practice.

The Aged Care Professional Theme Series focuses on up-to-date knowledge and practical skills development, engaging participants through role-playing, case studies and group work to explore contemporary standards, concepts and practices in the aged care industry.

Topics include:

This is an international course on innovation and entrepreneurship for Chinese vocational institutions designed by Beijing AVEA in collaboration with Professor Antony Jacobson, Professor of Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Hebrew University in Israel and Director of the Centre for Healthcare Innovation at the Health and Care Institute (HCI) in Australia, this course is closely aligned with the construction and innovation of dual innovation education and healthcare-related professional curricula in Chinese vocational institutions, and includes not only innovation and entrepreneurship education concepts and practices, but also international healthcare innovation theories, technologies and practices.

Through this professional and systematic training, teachers involved in entrepreneurship and innovation education will get up-skilled to ensure quality training programs can be provided to students to facilitate their knowledge and skills in innovation and entrepreneurship. Meanwhile, the integration of industry-university-research will be accelerated.
