International education cooperation is conducive to promoting the cross-border circulation of advanced educational experiences and enhancing global human capital. China has become the main destination for students from developing countries, and how to better carry out international cooperation programs in Chinese education has become an important issue. This paper focuses on international cooperation in the field of vocational education and takes a vocational college in China as a case to explore the performance of different international cooperation modes between China and developing countries. The study did a within-case design, and three projects representing three modes of cooperation were selected for comparison. The article believes that the key to success lies in the design of cooperation, and those projects which closely integrate local industries, colleges and students will thrive and prosper. The article answers the question of how international cooperation in vocational education should be carried out.
