Affected by the financial crisis, there are endless incidents of downsizing and collapse of the company. Enterprise employment standards are constantly increasing, and the employment situation for college students is becoming increasingly severe. Why can't college graduates find a job, why is the ability of university graduates always far from the expectations of enterprises? 51cto training channel recently interviewed Professor Yuan chuankuan, president of Zhongguancun Innovation Research Institute, to discuss the differences between education and vocational education.
Professor Yuan has been engaged in the education industry for 41 years. At the same time, he has the teaching experience of domestic and foreign universities and nearly 8 years of vocational education. He has deep feelings about it vocational education and university education. Professor Yuan clearly told 51cto that academic degree education is completely different from vocational education, and the two are completely irreplaceable.
University education is the foundation of Vocational Education
"University education lays the foundation for cultivating a professional, and is the main body of education ." Professor Yuan first clarified the responsibilities of university education. "If a University trains talents with precise occupations, it will lose its vitality. University education aims to cultivate talents on a long and broad road, therefore, it is impossible for a college graduate to immediately become a professional."
"The working status of professionals is standardized and systematic. With the rapid development of the software industry, professional software engineers should have solid basic knowledge, understand software development standards and observe professional ethics." Professor Yuan pointed out, "This requires college graduates to improve their professionalism in practical engineering projects. Vocational education solves this problem ."
Financial crisis accelerates Vocational Education Development
Professor Yuan explained the characteristics of vocational education institutions by taking the rapid development of personal computers during the economic low tide of the United States in 1980s as an example. At that time, major manufacturers only produced large computers and completed the entire sales process from R & D and production. The emergence of personal computers led to the transformation of some enterprises and the division of labor began to be refined. With this change, many new engineering technicians or managers emerged, and a lot of training emerged.
With the development of society and economy, vocational education institutions can adjust their training content at any time, especially in the case of economic crisis, many people face new choices, which highlights the importance of vocational education. "However, university education is consistent for a long time and cannot be changed at any time. Therefore, vocational training and university education have their respective educational responsibilities, A degree represents a person's academic level. Vocational education creates a qualified professional. The two cannot replace each other."
Emerging industries require Standardization
For most College Students' Vocational Education, "vocational education is very important to emerging occupations." Professor Yuan talked about China's software industry. "The software industry has developed rapidly in China for over 20 years, there are vitality, but there are also many problems."
Professor Yuan believes that the main reason is that the industry has failed to form a standardized system and irregular operation management is everywhere. Therefore, "standardization is the only way for the industry to continue to develop ."
However, China's software industry does not have industry standards, "we can learn from and learn international standards, such as the software industry standards proposed by the IEEE-CS Institute has now become an international standard recognized by ISO, CSDP has been introduced, which can be introduced and studied. In this process, the university cannot complete it and must be placed in an educational institution with vocational education as its task."
