Shunde Kautex – Rewarded for Dual Vocational Education System
Shunde Kautex, a daughter company of the German machine manufacturer Kautex Maschinenbau, was recently rewarded for its commitment in Chinese society for its social engagement in the 2017 “More than a Market” initiative. This initiative has been set up by the German Chamber of Commerce in China (Shanghai), together with the Bertelsmann Stiftung and the German Consulate General in Shanghai. It aims to promote and motivate China based German enterprises to fully implement the entrepreneurial spirit and actively fulfill their social responsibility. 75 projects have competed for this year’s award and Shunde Kautex was rewarded for its outstanding performance in a Dual Vocational Education Project based on German Standards.
This project was launched in 2016 in response to the Guangdong government’s development in vocational education and training (VET) and is planned for 3 years. After more than one year of investigation, the company last year signed the “Memorandum of VET Cooperation” with Guangdong Light Industry and Technical School and AHK Shanghai (German Chambers of Commerce Worldwide Network). By supporting vocational education and training in China, the project not only benefits students from vocational schools by allowing them to expand their practical skills and prepare for entering the job market, but also benefits the company with recruiting qualified staff.
Six Shunde Kautex employees have passed a special qualification exam and received an AEVO certificate to qualify as trainers in the new Dual Vocational Education System.
Andreas Krause, Vice President of Shunde Kautex, is very pleased to receive the award. “This is a huge honor and a great chance for us. Shunde Kautex is in need of qualified personnel such as industrial mechanics, mechatronic technicians and toolmakers. The company will integrate relevant content into the training to better suit our specific technical needs. It is an investment in our future. ”
