From October 23rd to 25th, a delegation led by the Vice-Secretary of QTC Party Committee and the President, Qin Qingsong, consisting of representatives from the School of Tourism and the School of Biology and Chemical Engineering, visited Toi (Toi Ohomai Institute of Technology) and Wintec (Waikato Institute of Technology) in New Zealand. They discussed cooperation plans, strengthened the foundation for collaboration, and explored new strategies, areas, and approaches for international cooperation in vocational education between China and New Zealand.

At Toi, the delegation visited various departments, including the Information Center, Student Support Services Center, and the International Student Services Center. They engaged in discussions with the Student Support Services Center's teachers about career counseling and psychological counseling. The delegation also conducted research at the School of Tourism's related professional training base, gaining insights into its operation and the practical models for teacher-guided student training. The delegation also visited external partner companies of Toi, such as Skyline and the Rotorua City Visitors Information Center, discussing collaboration between educational institutions and businesses, as well as student employment opportunities. Wang Yuanyuan, the Deputy Dean of the School of Tourism, delivered a lecture titled "Trends and Future Opportunities for the Development of China's Tourism Industry in the Post-Pandemic Era" upon the invitation of the host institution.

At Wintec, the delegation visited departments such as the International Student Registration Center, the library, the Language Learning Center, and the Creative Workshop. They gained a comprehensive understanding of Wintec's operations. The delegation also attended an English language learning class and interacted with students from various countries to learn about their study and living conditions. In the Creative Workshop, the delegation conducted research on elective course designs and implementations related to innovative and creative entrepreneurship incubation based on real business projects.

During the visit, Qin Qingsong introduced the cooperative education program in Tourism Management between China and New Zealand, which was recognized as a demonstration project for Sino-foreign cooperative education in Shandong Province. He expressed the willingness to establish a deeper partnership, enhance cooperation in teacher training and program development, promote QTC internationalization, and further develop China's international brand in vocational education through cooperation between China and New Zealand. This visit aimed to continue the progress in Sino-New Zealand vocational education cooperation.
