Ho Chi Minh City develops a program to promote industry.

On December 15th, the Ho Chi Minh City Vocational Education Association held a ceremony to celebrate its 20th anniversary (December 15, 2003 - December 15, 2023).

Speaking at the ceremony, Distinguished Educator Lam Van Quan, Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Vocational Education Association, said: "The predecessor of the Ho Chi Minh City Vocational Education Association was the City Vocational Training Association, a voluntary organization of people working in management, teaching, and research in vocational education. In 2014, the City Vocational Training Association changed its name to the Vocational Education Association."

Attending the program, Ms. Dinh Thi Thanh Thuy, Deputy Chief of the Office of the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City, highly appreciated the contributions of the Vocational Education and Training Association over the past 20 years to vocational training activities in the city.

Ms. Thanh Thuy emphasized: "The Vocational Education Association has made a significant contribution to the development of vocational education in the city. The association's connections have created high-quality training programs, helping students not only master knowledge but also equip them with practical skills, closely following the increasingly high demands of the workforce."

Also at the event, the Ho Chi Minh City Vocational Education and Training Association officially launched its vocational training promotion program and its executive board. This is an activity to honor, encourage, and create opportunities for skilled professionals and excellent vocational teachers to develop their careers.

This program represents a new development for the Ho Chi Minh City Vocational Education and Training Association, as it establishes a specialized agency dedicated to promoting vocational development and encouraging workers and students to participate in vocational skills training.

According to Mr. Lam Van Quan, the Association's main objective is to make a practical contribution to improving the quality of vocational education and human resources to meet the requirements of the domestic and international labor and industrial markets; and to make a positive contribution to the economic and social development of Ho Chi Minh City and Vietnam. Therefore, all of the Association's activities are aimed at achieving this goal.

The association encourages vocational education institutions to cooperate in developing common training programs and sharing teaching materials and resources. Schools can also jointly carry out research and development projects on new technologies in the professional fields in which they have strengths.

The association also supports the establishment of an internal collaborative environment by creating mechanisms for communication, information exchange, and document sharing among lecturers and administrative staff of vocational education institutions in the area.

Besides linking with schools, the City's Vocational Education Association also focuses on strengthening connections with businesses, supporting schools in connecting with businesses to create opportunities for collaborative training of human resources according to business requirements, and at the same time finding quality job opportunities for students from these schools.

According to Mr. Lam Van Quan, in the coming time, the City's Vocational Education Association will establish an advisory council including representatives from businesses to participate in the process of developing teaching materials, providing guidance, and evaluating training quality. With training input from managers directly involved in production and business, the city's workforce will be more closely aligned with labor practices and will experience new developments.
