The demand and training of technical and technical talents with international vision should be included in the training orientation of higher vocational colleges.
First, the basic situation of the school's foreign exchanges and cooperation

? Although there is no geographical advantage of international exchange and cooperation, and there is no language major, the college has always adhered to the principle of "opening schools", people-oriented, taking projects as the carrier, and actively serving teachers and students to "go global". Systematically clarified how to "go global", and issued the Interim Provisions on the Management of Students Going Abroad in Binzhou Vocational College and the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of Foreign Training for Key Professional Teachers in Binzhou Vocational College. In the atmosphere, encourage students to "go out", set up college students' international exchange association, carry out a series of cultural experience activities and international cultural lectures, broaden their horizons and promote students to feel the international atmosphere; On the project, students are guaranteed to "go out", and "Jiaquan Class" is set up in cooperation with Jiaquan University in Korea to provide students with "intensive scholarship", which exempts students from all tuition fees during the language study period of 1 year; At the same time, teachers are encouraged to "go abroad". The college sets up a special fund of 2 million yuan every year to create conditions for teachers to go abroad, participate in overseas special training, learn advanced vocational education experience and introduce high-quality vocational education resources.

More than 90 students have gone to Korea to study; In the past three years, managers and teachers have participated in 86 overseas trainings in South Korea and Singapore.
Two, the school's foreign exchange and cooperation typical cases
(a) adhere to the open school and actively communicate with foreign countries.
1. Culture creates conditions for promoting mutual understanding.
The Sino-Korean food culture exchange activity is a two-way reciprocal exchange activity jointly organized by Shandong Social Science Association and Korea World Food Culture Research Institute, and it is also a key project supported by the Korean Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. It has been ten years since 2005. The college is also actively involved in this activity. 2065438+2004 was successfully held in Seoul from September 22nd to 26th. Liu Shuguo and Cao Yanyan participated in the activities on behalf of the college. During the activity, Mr. Liu Shuguo and Mr. Cao Yanyan introduced the college through the college brochures, college publications and newspapers, which attracted the attention of many international friends. Teacher Liu Shuguo held a live calligraphy exhibition and presented her works to Korean friends in a handbag with the image of the college.
The college hosted cultural exchange activities between China and South Korea in 20 14 years, the second official of the State Adjustment Office of the Prime Minister of South Korea, Chang Su, 100 President of the Historical Policy Research Institute, and Chairman of the World Food Culture Research Institute? Xiangzi, the representative of Korea Food Broadcasting, attended the meeting on behalf of some teachers and students from Nanrong Town, Douyuan Engineering University and Daegu Korea Medical University, and the main organizer and representatives of teachers and students from the college 1300.

During the cultural festival, he also participated in activities such as Chinese and Korean food culture exhibitions, academic forums and cooking competitions.
2. Community activities with strong international atmosphere.
The College established the College Students' Association for International Exchange, aiming at broadening college students' international horizons and improving their international exchange ability. The purpose of the association is to let students in Binhai Vocational School know about the world, and to offer interest classes in various small languages in the early days of the association, so as to provide students with more opportunities to learn foreign languages and cultures. Korean interest classes are offered every Tuesday and Friday after school. Through the study of interest classes, most students have mastered Korean pronunciation and primary dialogue. Fun activities such as South Korea's Double Eleven Festival cultural experience, South Korea's Jiaquan University teacher lecture, and "Welcome Double Festival to Tear Famous Brands" were carried out.
Korea 165438+ 10/month1is called "PeperoDay", which is a day for young people to express their greetings to friends, parents and elders. Its representative food is Pepero chocolate bar, and many Korean students make all kinds of chocolate bars to give to relatives and friends to express their love. In order to introduce and show the students, the club prepared various chocolate bars imported from South Korea, which aroused great interest of the students. Many students said that on this day, they should not only think about shopping, but also call their parents and friends who are far away from home and send winter greetings.
3. Overseas training to improve teachers' quality.
The College issued the Implementation Measures for Foreign Training of Key Professional Teachers in Binzhou Vocational College, and 3-5 key professional teachers and 1-2 groups are selected to participate in foreign training every year. Overseas training for key professional teachers mainly encourages and supports overseas study tours for 3-6 months, with the longest period not exceeding 1 year; Group training is mainly short-term training within 1 month
Foreign training includes: (1) visiting abroad, which means that teachers personally contact the tutors of foreign educational institutions for the purpose of improving their professional ability. Generally speaking, cooperative research is the main form. (2) Thematic training refers to the college's cooperation with foreign institutions to improve the professional quality of teachers in view of the difficulties in the development of professional and vocational education. Generally, elective courses and thematic training are the main forms. (3) Exchange visits between sister schools refer to sending teachers to the other school for comprehensive training based on cooperation projects with sister schools. Generally, the main form is to actually participate in business work.
For example, in 20 15, in order to learn advanced international vocational education concepts and further improve the professional construction and curriculum development ability of full-time teachers in the college, the backbone teachers of the college went to the "Specialty and Curriculum Construction" training group in Singapore, and 16 people went to Nanyang Technological University, Nanyang Technological University and Singapore Institute of Technology Education in Singapore for study and training. During the eight-day training, the students listened to 12 lectures, and visited the school appearance of Nanyang Technological University, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Polytechnic Institute of Education (Polytechnic Institute is equivalent to the secondary vocational school in China), as well as the experimental training rooms, teaching factories, project research and development rooms and experimental training centers of seven departments of Nanyang Technological University. They also visited the Singapore Housing Development Board, the Urban Renewal Board and the Freshwater Factory to gain a comprehensive understanding of vocational education in Singapore.

(B) three-dimensional cooperation to serve students' overseas development
1. Student-oriented, serving students to go out.
College and Jiaquan University decided to cooperate to implement the "Jiaquan University Undergraduate Study Through Train Project" for our students. The talents trained by Jiaquan University have not only professional skills, but also good moral character, as well as international educational background and intercultural communication ability. The project quota is 20 people per year. The program is aimed at grade 2 students, who have studied for 2 years, completed the required courses, have no bad records such as violation of laws and regulations, are in good health, can adapt to foreign life, and are interested in studying at Jiaquan University. Jiaquan University exempts students participating in the project from tuition and accommodation fees of 1 year, giving students the greatest discount and breaking the barriers for poor families to study abroad.
Korean Caotang University focuses on aircraft maintenance, and students enter the Korean Education Center of Caotang University to study Korean 1 year. After the expiration of language study, students can complete the required credits and reach the standard of undergraduate graduation, and can be promoted to the third year of Caotang University. Caotang University will award students bachelor's degree certificates recognized by the Ministry of Education of China and South Korea. Caotang University provides full scholarship (about RMB 1 000) for half a year's language tuition for recommended students. Cooperate with Korea Caotang University in nursing, optometry, architecture, aircraft maintenance and low-altitude pilot training. , and college-level promotion, more than 20 students participated in the college-level promotion plan;
2. Innovative forms of service for students' overseas employment
School-enterprise cooperation and joint school-running mode are adopted, and students participate voluntarily. Nursing students with excellent academic performance in our school are recommended for overseas employment, and students in "Nursing International Class" are free of all training fees except the tuition fees stipulated by the college. Students are required to bear the expenses related to going abroad, such as visas, guarantees, passports, air tickets, etc. Students set up "international classes" after entering the school, and trained in nursing professional knowledge, language and physical fitness in a targeted manner during the school period to meet the adaptation requirements before going abroad. 1-2 grade is embedded in Japanese courses, and in the third year, I will not participate in internships and continue to strengthen Japanese. Students in international nursing classes are subject to paramilitary management, unified military training after registration, full-time teaching mode from Monday to Friday, unified practice, unified work and rest, and students are not allowed to go out casually during their study. If they really need to go out, they must implement a strict leave system. Japanese nursing knowledge teachers and language teachers are teachers with teaching experience sent by Japan, so that students can master the basic knowledge of Japanese nursing and lay a solid theoretical and practical foundation for going abroad for employment smoothly. Ensure that students feel foreign culture while learning a foreign language.
? For students majoring in food processing, aquatic products processing, vegetable processing, textile sewing, electronic parts processing, auto parts, mechanical processing, architecture and so on. As long as individuals are willing, the college will also arrange language training opportunities for them and send them abroad for employment.
? Maritime students are trained in accordance with international maritime conventions and international seafarers' standards from the beginning of their enrollment, and jointly trained with China Ocean Shipping Corporation and Qingdao Ocean Shipping Co., Ltd.. Students boarded the ship during their post, and many students were employed by international companies with the highest annual salary of $25,200, which truly realized the dream of "high-paying employment and traveling around the world for free"!
Three. Existing problems and prospects
As a national backbone higher vocational college, compared with similar colleges in the whole country and the whole province, College is in a backward position in international exchanges and cooperation. At present, the college has more than 0/000 staff and students10.9 million. At present, the scale of running a school and the proportion of teachers and students participating in international exchanges are insufficient, and the number of participants is small, which has not yet formed a strong international atmosphere.
First, there is not enough understanding of the significance of international cooperation in running schools. Due to insufficient publicity and guidance, the introduction of higher vocational colleges in developed countries is not enough, which leads to insufficient understanding of the international cooperation carried out by colleges, insufficient attention to the trend of economic globalization and the increasingly fierce competition in the international community, and too little understanding of the latest progress of their respective professional international colleges. Most faculty members do not realize the significance of international cooperation in running schools to enhance the core competitiveness of colleges.
Second, the scale of international cooperative education is small. At present, there is no substantial international cooperation in running schools and enrolling students, and the cooperation project with aircraft maintenance major of Korea Caotang University is being declared. Cooperation with European and American countries, because of students' language problems, few students participate in the project; Due to insufficient attention to the guidance and cultivation of students' awareness of internationalization, the overseas "undergraduate-to-undergraduate" exchange program has a weak international atmosphere on campus and few participants.
Third, the construction of international exchange and cooperation teams needs to be strengthened. Normal international communication needs foreign language talents, and the Office of International Exchange and Cooperation has not established a translation team of the college. The office of international cooperation undertakes foreign affairs, including the formalities and reception of visitors, with too few staff and busy work; International cooperation in running a school is a systematic project, involving all aspects of the college. For example, the introduction of international students requires teachers of Chinese as a foreign language and perfect software and hardware facilities, and the International Cooperation Office has not coordinated enough to make constructive suggestions.
Fourth, little has been done in introducing advanced educational and teaching resources. Compared with universities in developed countries, there is a big gap between us in the macro level of school-running concept, operating mechanism, management mode and system design, and in the micro level of educational concept, teacher level, specialty setting, curriculum system, evaluation method and teaching method. It is not enough to learn from foreign advanced experience, introduce high-quality vocational education resources, rapidly promote connotation construction, and improve its own specialty setting and curriculum system.
The "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" is a crucial period for international exchanges and cooperation in vocational education, and internationalization will become a new growth point for all schools. The state clearly pointed out that vocational colleges should improve the Sino-foreign cooperation mechanism and combine the "introduction" of international high-quality vocational education resources with the "going out" of China's vocational education experience; The international exchange, cooperation and promotion of vocational education should be combined with the "going out" of China enterprises and products. "Explore and standardize the overseas running of vocational colleges" and "focus on cultivating localized talents to meet the overseas production and operation needs of Chinese enterprises".
International exchanges and cooperation in vocational education should not only focus on the domestic market, but also participate in the formulation of international standards for vocational education, so as to enhance the international influence of the national vocational college skills competition.
During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the internationalization level of the college will be comprehensively improved, making the level of international exchange and cooperation in a leading position among similar universities in China. Seize the opportunity, actively integrate resources, explore the establishment and construction of international education colleges, and fundamentally reverse the passive situation of international exchanges and cooperation between colleges. We should continue to promote the establishment of Sino-foreign cooperative education programs in various majors to promote students' overseas undergraduate or overseas employment; Promote the college to strengthen the construction of apartments for international students and foreign teachers, seize the opportunities brought by the "Belt and Road" strategy, and strive to train international students; Combining with the new round of professional diagnosis and promotion, we should incorporate internationalization indicators into all majors, promote the integration of internationalization content from the professional level, and urge all majors to actively introduce high-quality international educational resources; Strengthen exchanges with the United States, the Netherlands, Germany and other European and American countries, and promote extensive exchanges and high-level cooperation among managers, teachers and cooperative institutions.
