The Ministry of Labor and Social Security said Wednesday that between January and June this year, some 2.4 million people joined a range of skill training courses, up 1.9 percent over the same period last year.
Some 2.04 million of them received a technical certificate, up 1.5 percent.
To date, there are 8,336 organizations specializing in technical courses in China that employ 143,000 staff.
Since the technical certificate system was launched in 1994, more than 35 million people have passed such courses and received their certificates.
The skill training system has five gradings according to the knowledge and technical requirements of jobs.
