China’s Ministry of Education is to set up 30 information technology training bases nationwide to meet the increasing demand for technicians.
Yu Guangming, deputy director of the ministry’s Education Management Information Center, said the move was aimed to train more IT specialists to meet the huge demand.
The bases, vocational schools, would feature programs aimed at helping would-be job seekers to better incorporate knowledge into practical skills.
The training bases, which will be jointly sponsored by the center and local institutions of higher learning, would also provide advanced courses for technicians provided they had passed an aptitude test by the school, he noted.
According to an earlier survey conducted by Manpower Inc., a global employment service, technicians topped the list of most in-demand jobs in the Chinese labor market in the first half of 2008.
