The School was established in 1999 as a response to the

call for stronger vocational education. Its mission is to train

professionals urgently needed in production, construction, management,

and service sectors. The School offers five 4-year undergraduate

programs in accounting, marketing, tourism management, trade and

computer in addition to nine 3-year programs in accounting,

hospitality, exhibition, and related fields.The School uses student-centered teaching methods.

Careful planning has been carried out to better match the teaching

contents, methods, media and modes with the students’ vocational skill

development. The fact that Hospitality and Marketing are acclaimed as

the Model Programs of Chongqing Vocational Schools attests to the

School’s achievements.

The School boasts 10 hands-on labs for accounting,

marketing, chain operations, software engineering, business etiquette,

and more. The School has set up internship bases in more than forty

large and medium sized enterprises. Cooperation between academic

faculty and enterprises personnel includes jointly running School

programs, which not only ensures employment but diversifies the

teaching modes and improves such things as training personnel on

businesses’ request and work-based learning.

The School benefits from good international links. In

April, 2006, the School signed an agreement with the Australia

Southbank Institute of TAFE. On Jan. 12, 2007, the school was appointed

by the Chongqing Education Commission as the trial-site school for the

C-TAFE Program.

vocational education designed to develop students’ innovation and

practical skills. Students may attain these goals through a wide range

of programs, including Applied Techniques Festivals, Debate Contests,
