英国职业教育实施策略
英国职业教育包括商业、技术和技能方面的职业培训，包括特殊工种的职业技术培训。在发展初期，英国的职业教育系统是独立、自主运作的。随着经济的不断发展，劳动力市更为专业化，经济需求的职业人才水平更高，政府和企业通过资助培训机构或对参加培训的人员进行资助来支持职业教育发展。根据国家制订的职业标准，英国职业教育提供了基本生活技能培训、高级商务培训、及大学后管理培训等课程。英国政府、职业教育学院和其它职业培训机构共同构成了英国职业教育体系，而企业参与是英国职业教育体系的基本特点。

The Strategy for the Implementation of Vocational Education
in the United Kingdoms
UK vocational education and training includes training for commercial, technical and professional development, transferable personal skills as well as specifi c skills required to carry out a specifi c job. The system of vocational education in the UK was initially developed independently of the state. As the labor market becomes more specialized and economies demand higher levels of skills, governments and businesses are increasingly investing in the future of vocational education through publicly funded training organizations and subsidized apprenticeship or traineeship initiatives for businesses. UK vocational education now exists in specific trades such as retail, tourism, and information technology. The system includes all levels of training from the most basic life skills to basic and advanced trade training to postgraduate management training, with a range of National occupational standards developed for each occupational area. It is realized through vocational partnership networks involving UK government, organizations and bodies with a range of capabilities and expertise in vocational education. What is essential in this system is the involvement of the employers, which is guaranteed by employer representation on all the bodies.
