Summary
The article discusses the growth of vocational education in China and its impact on the country's electric car and semiconductor industries. Despite layoffs in the tech industry and high youth unemployment, key industry giants that rely on technical and advanced manufacturing labor have seen significant headcount growth. The Chinese government has made efforts to develop vocational education and has implemented changes to promote it. Vocational positions require specific skills, and there is a shortage of workers or applicants in these fields. Corporate partnerships between vocational schools and companies like CATL and BYD provide hands-on experience and potential job opportunities for students. However, vocational education still faces challenges in terms of public perception and being seen as less desirable than higher education.
