2025 EVERC International Conference
Rethinking Vocational Education in the Age of AI:Discourse, Data, and Design
The conference aims to explore the profound impact of artificial intelligence, particularly generative AI, on the future of vocational education. Generative AI is rapidly reshaping curriculum design, teaching methods, assessment practices, and industry linkages, creating new opportunities and challenges for skills training and workforce development.
Introduction
The conference will focus on three interconnected dimensions: conceptual discourse, data-driven insights, and design-oriented implementation. It will bring together scholars, educators, and industry leaders from across the globe to share cutting-edge research and practical case studies, fostering cross-disciplinary and international dialogue. Through these exchanges, the event aims to identify strategies for integrating AI into vocational education, enabling innovation, responsiveness to industry needs, and sustainable growth in the context of global digital transformation.

The conference spans three days. During the first two days, domestic and international experts will share the latest advancements in digital education for vocational education, offering cutting-edge technologies and perspectives. All attendees are welcome to join the roundtable discussions on the first two days for idea exchange and speaker interaction.
On the third day, the award ceremony for vocational education lesson plans will take place.
The third day affternoon features an innovative research presentation competition for vocational education, open to master’s and PhD students.
The concluding highlight of the first two days is the roundtable discussion, which provided participants with the opportunity to engage closely with international scholars, explore key issues in depth, and collectively foster innovative thinking.
We have invited the winners of the vocational education lesson plan competition to share their innovative lesson plans that utilize digital technologies. There will also be a static display of these lesson plans. We believe this event will inspire both teachers and students in attendance to develop creative teaching ideas.
We encourage students to transform their insights from the conference into innovative research proposals. This competition aims to foster creative ideas in vocational education, providing a platform for students to showcase their knowledge and engage in intellectual competition. The goal is to enhance academic research skills and promote creative thinking.
