Strategic Alliances with Suitable Industrial Partners

Teachers’ extensive practice programs enable school and industry to understand mutual needs, so that school can find suitable industrial partners and sign MOU

2

School discusses the core professional competencies with industrial partners to help school understand their needs

3

The principles (Indexes) for finding suitable industrial partners, especially the regional ones:

a. correspondence between coreprofessional competencies andthe targeted cultivated talents

b. correspondence between industry facilities and its orientation

c. possibilities of industry experts and teachers’ co-teaching

d. chances for students’ internshipe. job openings for graduates

13

Approaches to Strategic Alliances

Choosing industrial partners in a centrifugal way, from nearer regions to farther ones, to make the academia-industry interaction and students’ internship easier

Introducing the orientation of students, teachers’ professional background, the present teaching facilities to industry, which, in return, introduces its situation to school to enhance mutual matching

Signing contract ofstrategic alliance with targeted industrial partners

Discussing and cataloguing the vocational- competency-based core competencies with strategic alliance partners
