Lin Teng-Chiao said this is one of activities in Taiwan’s new “Look South” policy, which aims to promote cooperation between enterprises andeducational establishments in vocational training, especially in trainingforeign students.

Accordingly, Taiwan’s colleges and universities and Vietnam’s vocationaltraining establishments will sign agreements and select candidates for trainingcourses in Taiwan.

The programme will help trainees access job opportunities in Taiwanese enterprisesin their territory or those operating in Vietnam after they graduate.

Lin Teng-Chiao said the cooperation between educationalestablishments and enterprises has proven effective in Taiwan.

He underlined the important role play by the Government in the link, and theneed to have policies encouraging training units and businesses to join themodel.

According to Nguyen Hong Minh, General Director of the GeneralDepartment of Vocational Training under the Ministry of Labour, Invalids andSocial Affairs, Vietnam has nearly 2,000 vocational training establishments,but coordination between them and enterprises is not effective.
