These impacts are not limited to classroom practice, and extend to the fields of policy and system coordination. This article reports on the results of a major trial of outcomes‐oriented vocational education and training in vocational schools and colleges in the Chongqing municipality of central China. Between March 2002 and August 2007, a team of Australian advisors worked with the Chongqing Municipal Education Commission to implement new vocational education and training programmes in five key industry fields. Phase 1 of the project worked with five pilot schools, but by the end of the project, over 60 different schools, colleges and universities were participating in the project along with key agencies and ministries at the municipal and national levels. The article provides an overview of the project and highlights the key challenges experienced during the five years of implementation. It situates the key outcomes against the broader process of reform to technical and vocational education and training in China, and then considers the likely long‐term impacts through consideration of what reforms remain in place 18 months after the project ended.

The Australian Government announced $149.5M support for the establishment and initial four years of operation of the APTC at the 2006 Pacific Island Forum (AusAID 2010, p 11). The College project is being implemented by AusAID who has recently undertaken feasibility and design studies to enable the College to continue operations until at least 2015. The purpose of the APTC is for Pacific Islander women and men with Australian qualifications to find employment in targeted sectors.
