China’s Guangdong Province has been dubbed the “world’s factory” producing clothing, shoes and toys for much of the world. Today, the province is moving from these low-cost and labor-intensive productions to modern manufacturing and service industries. This transition calls for more high-skilled industrial workers, and vocational and technical schools play a leading role in meeting this demand. A World Bank-financed project in Guangdong has supported technical colleges in developing school-industry partnerships, building instructional and management capacities, developing modular and competency-based training programs, and upgrading school facilities and equipment to strengthen the skills and employment prospects of urban and rural workers.
