Vietnam should urge businesses to participate more in vocational training, including financial
tasks, suggested Dr. Juergen Hartwig, director of the Program Reform of technical and
vocational education and training (TVET) in Vietnam, under the German Agency for
International Cooperation (GIZ). He lauded that Vietnam’s policies are more and more
encouraging TVET units to cooperate with firms and have more autonomy. However, such
cooperation is still weak and Vietnam should provide more policies, such as preferential tax
policies, to encourage firms to join in TVET. He gave an example that the GIZ’s Vietnam Germany TVET reform program led to positive results, such as firms paid for the training of
learners during courses at firms. Besides, he suggested that Vietnam should encourage experts
from firms, firms, associations, and the VCCI to join hands in building standards of training
programs and ratings of learners.
