C. Objectives
The main objectives of vocational education are to advance students’ professional knowledge and capabilties, cultivate work ethics, strengthen the ability for further studies, and produce sound basic-level technicians. They help the country’s economic construction, meet social needs, and also satisfy the requirements of the graduates to have broader space to adapt to rapid technoligical progress, dramatic change of social stucture, and diversification, globalization, and modernization of the current industries.
Due to the fact that more and more graduates choose to pursue higher education instead of entering the workforce immediately upon graduation, the main responsibilities of this office have shifted from overseeing internships and career counseling to helping students enhance their practical skills in such areas as accounting, computer software, advertising design, and foreign languages.
