City & Guilds in China

China is undergoing rapid development, with a strong demand for both Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and a skilled labour force to meet both local and international economic opportunities.

Currently, there are skills shortages in Hospitality and Catering, Leadership and Management, as well as a demand for internationally recognised Accreditation, Quality Assurance and Teacher Training.

To help reduce these skills gaps, City & Guilds is working with training providers, universities, schools, colleges and governments throughout Asia to develop relevant skills training programmes; and employers to define critical skillsets they want to see in their recruitment process and as part of staff development programmes.

We advise Governments internationally on vocational skills framework reform to meet the demands of a rapidly globalised economy.

In 2000, City & Guilds was honourably registered as approved awarding body in China by Ministry of Labour and Social Security (OSTA, MOLSS, PRC). It is one of the few awarding bodies approved by the China government.

Remark: Ministry of Personnel and Ministry of Labor and Social Security have merged to Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security (MOHRSS) in 2008.
