German certificates to give Chinese students job edge

As many as 440 students will benefit from a newly launched Sino-German cooperative education program, offering opportunities in both Beijing and German markets.

Issued by Deutscher Industrie-und Handelskammertag (DIHK), a German vocational qualification certificate is being introduced by the Beijing municipal commission of education as a way to lead local students toward a bright career.

According to the official website of the commission, the city now has more than 50 international cooperative higher education programs in progress, of which 15 are vocational education programs.
