2025 World Vocational College Skills Competition(Introduction)
World Vocational College Skills Competition (WVCSC), which was upgraded in 2024 from National Vocational College Skills Competition (NVCSC), is initiated by the Ministry of Education (MOE) of the People’s Republic of China, with the joint efforts of relevant national ministries and commissions, as well as public institutions and organizations. It is a non-profit and international event for vocational school students to compete on comprehensive skills. As a major system design and innovation, NVCSC is an international skills competition with the longest history, the most ministries and commissions as joint hosts, and the largest number of competitive events. The competition, which has been successfully held for 16 sessions since 2008, has always adhered to the philosophy of "promote teaching and learning by competing" consistently optimizing the competition's institutional mechanisms, and continuously helping to foster new quality productive forces, build a modern industrial system, and cultivate high-skilled talents with comprehensive skill awareness and practical hands-on abilities. The schemes, tasks, and results of the Competition have been transformed into talent training schemes, courses, and teaching materials. It effectively promotes the construction of practice and training bases under school-enterprise cooperation, accelerates the reform of “teachers, textbooks, and teaching methods” in vocational education, and improves the quality of skilled talents trained by vocational schools. The Competition has a positive effect on high-quality employment, economic and social development, and international exchanges and cooperation on vocational education. Therefore, it has become a broad stage for vocational school students to show their talents and chase their dreams, and a famous brand of Chinese vocational education.
