Due to the increasing diversity and globalization, Taiwan is moving at an escalating pace towards an internationalized and liberal economy. Cultivating professionals who encompass knowledge and skills to meet the demands of the workforce is an urgent need. Therefore, in order to respond to the need, technical and vocational education should transform itself to produce more skilled professionals by promoting educational independence, lifelong learning, and mass-education. Furthermore, many developed countries, such Germany, Australia, Japan and United States of America, have been undertaken a series of educational reforms to yield industrial elites. This study explores and reviews the current states of post secondary education in developed countries mentioned previously. In addition, educational policy, school systems, sources of funds, curriculum design, and vocational certification systems are also compared and contrasted. Through the understanding of the post-secondary education in the developed countries, it can motivate the policy makers or leaders as well as school administrators in Taiwan's vocational and technical education to initiate a new culture, which hopefully will foster our values and visions of the technical and vocational education and inspire more effective and efficient ways of administration in order to engineer better equipped market personnel.
