The use of vocational schools is a growing phenomenon in China. Despite the large number of university graduates in China, the universities are not able to meet all the growing needs of the society for future development. Vocational schools have arisen to fill these needs by providing a more detailed knowledge than that provided by universities. This has led to weak base of theory for many workers. Their focus, practical application, is much more detailed than the theory provided at college. Many students choose to go to vocational schools instead of universities. This has led many college graduates to question the value of their degrees. They should not, as the levels of education offered by different vocational schools are unequal. Some of these schools are private and offer a flexible schedule for students who may be working or are even in school at university. On the other hand, because they are run by individuals, the teaching quality and the teaching resources offered by many vocational schools maybe of low quality. This is countered by the fact that those with excellent facilities and teachers sign up more students than others. Yet, this is no consolation to those who are cheated of their hard-earned money by poor quality schools in the pursuit of knowledge. To counter this, many employers have established relationships with certain vocational schools in order to raise the quality of worker education.

參加職業培訓在中國已經逐漸成為普遍的現象。在中國，盡管有很多大學畢業生，但大學仍不能滿足社會深入發展所帶來的不斷增長的所有需求。職業學校通過提供比大學更為細致的知識而滿足了這些需求。但這也導致了很多員工理論基礎薄弱。然而，相比大學教授的理論，它們所注重的實踐教育要具體得多。許多學生放棄大學而選擇上職業學校。這使得很多大學畢業生質疑他們所獲學位的價值。他們不應如此，因為不同職業學校提供的教育水平是不等的。這些學校有些是私立的，為學生提供靈活的課程安排，這里的學生可能是在職的，甚至還是在校大學生。另一方面，由于是私人經營，許多職業學校提供的教學質量和教學資源可能會比較差，與之相對的是，那些擁有先進教學設備和雄厚師資的學校比其他學校招收到更多的學生。然而，這并不能安慰那些為追求知識而被教學質量很低的學校騙走辛苦錢的學生。為防止這種情況的發生，許多用人單位已經與特定的職業學校建立了合作關系，以提高員工教育質量。
