Shaanxi Youth Vocational College | Chinese Universities

Shaanxi Youth Vocational College is a public ordinary higher education institution approved by the People's Government of Shaanxi Province and registered with the Ministry of Education. Located in Xi'an, an ancient capital and a famous historical and cultural city, it shares the same organizational structure with Shaanxi Provincial Communist Youth League School under two different names. It not only offers higher vocational education but also undertakes the task of education and training for Communist Youth League cadres and other youth workers in Shaanxi Province.

The college evolved from the Shaanxi Provincial Communist Youth League School founded in 1952. In 1984, it officially launched junior college education on the basis of short-term training for League cadres. In 1994, Shaanxi Youth Administrative Cadre College was established as an independently set up adult higher education institution. Upholding the fine traditions and cultural connotations of Communist Youth League schools and adapting to the demand for high-quality technical and skilled talents in economic and social development in the new era, it began to independently offer higher vocational education in 2003 and was officially restructured into Shaanxi Youth Vocational College in 2005.
