When schools and businesses look in the same direction as vocational education

For enterprises, Mr. Quan analyzed: “Enterprises need human resources, then the development and training of human resources are their responsibilities and interests. Only when businesses actively cooperate with vocational schools to prepare their own manpower, then enterprises will be satisfied. If businesses just stand outside to recruit, there will be many difficulties, not even recruiting. Only when schools and businesses have the motivation and pressure to shake hands effectively can not cooperate on paper and formalities. Cooperation must be associated with benefits. Without benefit, we have no substantive cooperation. ” Providing additional data, Mr. Quan said that in Vietnam, there are 55 million employees, of which, 24% are trained, 35% work in agriculture, and a large number have to retrain. Therefore, businesses and vocational schools must cooperate in training very well, actually, not for certification
