Under the cooperation deal, Korea Polytechnic IV will provide training and grant level-4 certificates in education and training for the Lao Cai College’s automobile technology and industrial electricity lecturers, while helping the Vietnamese college to develop a Korea Polytechnic IV-standard training programme.
