Abstract
The current mechanism of software workforce training in China is ill-conditioned, thus barely meeting the business needs. One of the key causes for the extraordinary growth of India's software industry is that India has developed an effective method of training advanced and functional software workforce and turned it into a globally recognized model of such training. NIIT-National Institute of Information Technology-is one of the examples in India's software workforce training model. This article is based on over 6 years' experience of "sit-in" observation and corporation with NIIT. It starts with analysis of NIIT course structure and software development plan, comparing it with the course design and training method in our own vocational education system. It presents a brand new teaching-learning model that is project centered and case driven.
