Hanoi (VNA) – The Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) and Samsung Vietnam on July 14 jointly launched a training programme for Vietnamese molding technicians.
The programme comes following the signing of an agreement reached by the two sides within the framework of the ninth meeting of the Vietnam-the Republic of Korea Joint Committee which took place on October 22, 2019.
Under the four-year programme, Samsung will help Vietnam train 200 technicians in the molding field to enhance production capacity of domestic fundamental manufacturing industries.
There will be two courses for each year, with each course lasting for 14 weeks, comprising 10 weeks in Vietnam and four weeks in the RoK.
