Australian Ambassador Andrew Goledzinoski underlined the necessity to develop logistics workforce skills for countries with large supply systems like Vietnam, affirming that Australia will help Vietnam with the vocational training necessary to make it happen.
The collaboration between the two governments will ensure that Vietnam has an effective and sustainable vocational education system to equip its workforce with the knowledge and skills needed for the future, he went on.
At the forum, participants shared models and experiences to ensure that learners are equipped with the necessary skills to adapt to the digital age.
They proposed policies to improve the quality of vocational education in Vietnam, and also discussed challenges to the development of the logistics industry in the country.
Aus4Skills aims to support Vietnam's socioeconomic development and stability through implementing Australia Awards Scholarships (AAS) and alumni programmes, and improving vocational establishment governance and performance standards. These moves will help strengthen Vietnam's VET sector, and support the development of a capable public service, including advancing women in leadership, through the Vietnam Australia Centre (VAC)./.
