ABSTRACT
China’s economy has made remarkable achievements through 30 years of fast development, but at the same time it is confronted with a series of problems like growing environmental pollution, resource depletion and aging of population. The development mode characterized by low labor growth and high resource and energy consumption that has long been observed by China has been dicult to continue and entails economic transition imperatively. Any transformation ultimately involves the transformation of people. As higher vocational education features simultaneous development with the economy, it is particularly important to explore the transformation of higher vocational education in the context of economic transition.
