It is always difficult to promote the co-operation between the school and the enterprise, because of the lack of motivation ofcorporation’s responsibility of vocational education, which has become the bottleneckto promote the quality of vocational education. In this research, some researchmethods such as survey research, historical research and comparative research wereused to solve the problem.In this study, the foothold of school-enterprise cooperation was transferred fromschools to enterprises. Firstly, why do the companies have the responsibility ofvocational education? With the theory of corporate citizenship and the framework ofcitizen is the unity of rights and responsibilities, this paper demonstrates thatenterprises have social responsibility, because vocational education is one of thesocial phenomena.Secondly, what responsibilities of vocational education do the companies have?It is originated from the labor scene through the development history of vocationaleducation.

Much moreprogresses have been made than before whether it was in the breadth of participation,or the depth of participation. What’s more, different development stages of thecompanies will show different levels of demand and different accountabilityperforming status. Large enterprises have a good responsibility fulfilling condition,because of growing in a mature state. In this stage, technical talents and corporatereputation have become their main pursuits.However, the enterprises took up the responsibility of vocational education, butat the same time they did not get the rights and interests for compensation, so they were not enthusiastic in participating vocational education. For motivating them toparticipate in vocational education, different motivational strategies can be chosenfrom the rights and interests according to different growing stages of companies. Ingeneral, the demand of a mature company is higher, who should be conferred the right,and the demand of an immature enterprise is lower, who should be supportedeconomic benefits. |
