In October 2021, the "Opinions on Promoting the High-quality Development of Modern Vocational Education" released by the State Council demonstrated China's commitment to push forward the development of TVET. The Chinese market shows immediate positive response. Opportunities for international cooperation continue to emerge.

The Department for International Trade is launching a virtual mission of TVET to bring together vocational colleges, investors, government organisations and leading providers to explore new opportunities.
