JIC Leasing (Shanghai) recently provided financial leasing services to a Fujian private vocational college in support of the high-quality development of vocational education.

Being the form of education that interfaces most closely with industry, and that which serves the real economy most directly, vocational education is a key battleground for training skilled personnel. In recent years, China has introduced a number of policies to promote the high quality transformation of vocational education in terms of training, employment and re-education. The 20thNational Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly stated that vocational education, higher education and continuing education should combine their innovative ideas, with greater efforts made to advance the integration of vocational education, of industry and education, and of science and education, in order to optimize the positioning of vocational education. This year, the two sessions of the National People's Congress stated that we must guide the development of private education and vigorously improve the quality of vocational education. "Vocational education" thus became one of the key topics at this year's two sessions.

The higher vocational college involved in this cooperation project is very specialized, focusing primarily on maritime programs such as those offered by the College of Marine Transportation, the College of Marine Engineering, the General Training College of Seafarers, and the College of Yachting and Sailing. The college is also qualified to train 24 types of crew, including ordinary crew, officer crew and special ship crew. With more than 45,000 trainees every year, it ranks among the best in the country in terms of marine technology education, marine engineering technology and crew training.  This cooperation will help the construction of the new college campus and the updating and upgrading of its equipment, and will also promote the further development of its specialist disciplines and all-round development.

JIC Leasing (Shanghai) has worked in the education industry since 2018. In recent years, it has strongly supported vocational education and utilized its own resources to provide financial assistance for the transformation and upgrading of vocational institutions.
