Abstract
Innovation and entrepreneurship education play an important role in development of higher vocational colleges, employment of students, and social service. On December, 2017, the state council published Several Opinions About Deep Integration of Industry and Education, which means it’s a positive signal to higher vocational colleges. In this article, we introduce the status quo and issues of innovation and entrepreneurship education of higher vocational colleges in China. Then, according to Basil Bernstein’s theory of the pedagogic mechanism, we analyze the mechanism of innovation and entrepreneurship education from four aspects in Zhejiang province. Major findings of this study include: (1) In the instructor training, Zhejiang Department of Education invests lots of resources to train a large number of entrepreneurial mentors whether is from undergraduate or vocational colleges; (2) In student training, higher vocational college students must complete 2 credits of IEE courses and can apply for SYB courses free of charge; (3) After five years of development, the popularity of innovation and entrepreneurship competition has been increasing and the participation of higher vocational colleges has doubled; (4) After a decade of exploration and development, mass innovation space has evolved from the early 1.0 hardware version, which only provided sites and equipment, to the 2.0 and 3.0 software versions with capital docking and government support.
