Founded in 1979 as Guizhou Architecture Materials Industry School and later adopted the name of Guizhou Construction School, Guizhou Polytechnic of Construction (GZPC) got its current name in 2014. Directly under the administration of Guizhou Department of Education, we provide skill-based talents in construction industry by offering full-time general higher education which supplemented by secondary vocational and non-academic education. GZPC covers an area of 610 acres, having campuses in Qingzhen and Guanshanhu district. GZPC is composed of 6 academic units (Engineering & Construction, Architectural Art & Design, Information Management, Construction Machinery, Guizhou Construction School and Further Education School) providing 36 majors of 6 relevant specialty groups.

      As a "National Training Center for Skilled Construction " and "National Advanced Vocational Unit", GZPC took the lead in establishing Guizhou "Vocational Education Group of Construction". We employ 508 faculties, including 355 full-time teachers (23.9% hold doctoral or master degrees, 21.9% with a Sub-Senior or Senior Professional Title, 43% with an Intermediate Professional Title, and 62% have the teacher and engineer qualification). GZPC creatively adopts education and has a comprehensive credit system, establishes the training course system which gives equal importance to professional and specialized fields. We pay great attention to cultivate innovation & enterprise capability and practice our schooling theory of "Promoting Luban’s spirit, being great artisans" by enriching school culture with academic, recreational and skill-based activities.

      In recent years, GZPC has attracted nearly 20 enterprises from Guizhou or other provinces to participate in the construction of our training base, thus introducing enterprises, talents and funds to improve school affairs. At same time, we have introduced 200 million yuan from Germany to establish an advanced training center and help us become a role model for other high vocational colleges of construction.

      In the context of the initiative of "the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road",we have made it a strategic priority in our development planning to go global and actively work on expanding international educational cooperation, in particular focusing on developing global educational philosophy and innovate teaching practices. In recent years, GZPC has now established exchange programs with colleges and institutions from western Asian countries, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and has attracted teaching and administrative staff from different countries and regions, including western Asian countries, Australia, Republic of Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan, to visit our college and establish cooperation program.

      Nowadays, vocational education in our country is faced with a historic opportunity for development, and as a leading vocational college, we shoulder this new mission. We must be dedicated to providing technical and skilled talents with production, service and management skills for the construction industry.All the teaching and administrative staff, as well as students, will work hand in hand to make GZPC a national leading and innovative construction vocational college.
