The objective of this study is to delve deeply into the current landscape, theoretical underpinnings, obstacles, countermeasures, and anticipated future trends of international cooperation and exchange in vocational education. To accomplish this, the paper initially establishes a theoretical foundation for such cooperation and exchange through rigorous theoretical examination, emphasizing the integration of interdependence and international cooperation theories within this context. Subsequently, a comprehensive analysis is conducted on the prevalent models of international vocational education collaboration and exchange, encompassing school-to-school, government-to-government, and school-to-enterprise partnerships. The paper also explores the internal and external factors driving these collaborative efforts. Furthermore, several illustrative cases of international vocational education cooperation and exchange are selected for in-depth scrutiny. Utilizing case studies and comparative analysis, the strengths, weaknesses, successful practices, and prevalent challenges within each case are critically evaluated. Drawing from these case findings, the paper identifies key challenges currently facing the field of international vocational education cooperation and exchange, and formulates tailored countermeasures and recommendations. Ultimately, this research not only contributes to the theoretical framework of international vocational education cooperation and exchange but also offers practical insights and valuable guidance for stakeholders engaged in this domain.
