To deepen International Vocational Education Cooperation and to Promote Global Sharing of Quality Resources, Dr. Volkmar Meinhold, Chairman of Germany’s F+U Saxony Public Welfare Education Group, and Ms. Li Hong, Head of China Operations, visited Cogdel Education Group recently. They engaged in in-depth strategic discussions with Mr. Shi Min, Vice Chairman of the Board of Cogdel Education Group, and relevant personnel, injecting new momentum into Sino-German vocational education cooperation. This meeting not only marked a significant return visit following Mr. Shi Min’s delegation to F+U Saxony in Germany last year but also served as a solid bond to deepen collaboration and jointly chart a new chapter of development.

Powerful Collaboration: Deepening Sino-German Vocational Education Cooperation
In the morning, a profound dialogue on the future of vocational education unfolded. Representatives from F+U Saxony and leaders and staff of Cogdel Education Group held in-depth discussions on dual vocational education cooperation between China and Germany. During their friendly talks in Germany last November, both parties had already conducted preliminary exchanges and reached broad consensus, laying a solid foundation for this round of further cooperation and implementation.

After several rounds of pragmatic and efficient negotiations, the two sides reached a deep consensus. They will leverage their respective strengths in vocational education to deepen collaboration in internationally competitive and high-demand fields such as healthcare and hotel management. Together, they will explore vocational education pathways aligned with international standards and Chinese characteristics, jointly building globally influential vocational education brands. This partnership aims to cultivate more highly skilled talents equipped to meet global demands.

As a leader in international education, Cogdel Education Group provides solid guarantees for the collaboration through its extensive localization experience and global cooperation network. Meanwhile, F+U Saxony, a prominent player in Germany’s vocational education sector, brings strong international momentum with its rich resources in overseas industry-academia partnerships and teaching expertise. This strategic alliance will undoubtedly propel Sino-German vocational education cooperation into a new phase of development.

Demonstration of Strength: Visiting Cogdel’s Flagship Vocational School
Following the talks, the F+U Saxony delegation visited Cogdel’s Chengdu flagship vocational school—Zhonghe Vocational High School—to witness firsthand China’s innovative practices in vocational education.

Accompanied by Cogdel personnel, the delegation toured the school’s cultural facilities, teaching infrastructure, and enterprise-simulated training environments, earning frequent nods of approval. The state-of-the-art facilities and outstanding teaching capabilities at the International Project Center showcased Cogdel’s high standards and forward-thinking approach in nurturing international talents, leaving a deep impression on the visitors.

Dr. Meinhold remarked, “The speed and quality of China’s vocational education development are remarkable. We firmly believe that through resource complementarity and deep collaboration, we can supply global industries with more outstanding talents possessing advanced skills and cross-cultural communication abilities.”

Global Dialogue: A Journey of Growth Across Languages
During the school visit, Dr. Volkmar Meinhold also engaged in face-to-face exchanges with students of the German language class. He shared detailed insights into Germany’s education system, lifestyle, and culture, helping students gain a comprehensive understanding of studying abroad—from academic environments and cultural atmospheres to campus life and career prospects. He painted vivid and inspiring pictures of overseas education, encouraging students to pursue their dreams on the global stage.

The students listened with great interest, occasionally raising questions in German, which Dr. Meinhold answered warmly, creating a lively and engaging atmosphere.

The confident demeanor and fluent German displayed by the students drew repeated praise from Dr. Meinhold: “I am deeply impressed by the students’ performance. Your German proficiency is not only solid but also eloquently expressed, demonstrating exceptional language aptitude and learning capabilities.”

Furthermore, he emphasized that F+U Saxony would fully support Cogdel students in their studies and life in Germany, offering comprehensive services ranging from academic guidance and cultural adaptation to career planning and employment recommendations. F+U will serve as a steadfast pillar for students in Germany, empowering each to realize their study-abroad dreams and embark on fulfilling international journeys.

This deepened collaboration between Cogdel Education Group and Germany’s F+U Saxony Public Welfare Education Group represents another significant boost to Sino-German educational cooperation. Moving forward, Cogdel will continue to embrace openness, collaboration, and innovation, aligning with national talent strategies. The group will expand multi-dimensional, multi-industry, and multinational partnerships with overseas educational institutions and industrial resources, innovate talent cultivation models, explore pioneering approaches for modernizing international vocational education, inject new momentum into high-quality vocational education development, and establish a new paradigm for cultivating vocational talents in the modern era.
