Abstract:
Higher vocational education, as a vital component of the higher education system, possesses the unique attributes of both higher education and vocational education. In the context of internationalization, higher vocational education serves as a crucial source of training for applied skills and talents. It is imperative that the training of theoretical knowledge and practical skills in higher vocational education keeps pace with the evolving demands of the global job market. The study of the internationalization of vocational education is intricately linked to the development of higher vocational schools and the advancement of higher vocational education in our country. This study employed descriptive research method to investigate the application of Foreign Education Policy Practices, Core Training, and International Exchange and Cooperation in the internationalization of vocational education. The study aimed to describe the profile of respondents in terms of sex, age, years of working, and educational attainment; determine the foreign education policy support in terms of policies and regulations, financial support, international project development, and publicity support; assess the vocational core training as to knowledge, language and vocational skills training; identify international exchange in terms of student, teacher, and educational resources; test the differences in responses when grouped according to the profile; test the relationships among the variables of policy support, training services, professional exchange; and propose an effective amendment scheme for vocational education towards internationalization. The study used a sample of 425 teachers of different genders, ages, years of service, and levels of education from higher vocational schools to evaluation. It was found out that majority of respondents are females aged 36 to 45, working for 11 to 15 years, and obtaining a master’s degree having better assessment than others. The result shows that a significant relationship exists and implies that the better the foreign education policy practices, the better the vocational core training; the better the foreign education policy practices, the better the international exchange; the better the vocational core training, the better the international exchange. Based from the results of the study, countermeasures to adapt to the development of vocational education were proposed.
