The Directorate of Vocational Education and Training under the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs saw off the Vietnamese delegation in Hanoi on August 23.
The event features 337 competitors from the 10 ASEAN member countries.
It includes 26 occupations grouped into six categories, consisting of industrial technology, web design and communications, fashion and creative industries, transportation and logistics, construction and buildings, and personal and social services.
Fifty-two Vietnamese competitors selected from a national skill contest will show their talents in the regional round.

It also serves as a platform for collaboration within the skills community in ASEAN as the region strives to enhance technical and vocational education and training.
