IOM-aided Project Enhances Vocational Training Capacity of 3K Vietnam People

The “Supporting the Vietnamese government in digital transformation of labor through vocational education and training” project, which was launched in 2021 by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), has supported nearly 3,000 students and workers at industrial parks with vocational training, state media reported.

The information was revealed at a workshop on August 25 co-hosted by the IOM and the Directorate of Vocational Education and Training (DVET), under Vietnam’s Ministry of Labor, War Invalid, and Social Affairs (MoLISA).

Since 2021, the project has been carried out in the provinces of Thai Nguyen, Quang Nam, Dong Nai, and Binh Duong, aiming to enhance the Vietnamese workforce’s skills and develop online training platforms for vocational training.

Under the project, its online learning platform congdanso.edu.vn has attracted more than 15,100 users, with 31,100 courses and nearly 26,000 certificates issued to learners.

Speaking at the workshop in Hanoi, IOM Chief of Mission in Vietnam Park Mihyung affirmed that the IOM vows to further accompany Vietnam’s vocational education in improving the training quality, in a bid to elevate its capability to be on par with countries in the region and the world by 2030 and become ASEAN’s leading country in vocational education by 2045.
