The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) signed an agreement to improve training capacity with the College of Transport in Hanoi on May 20.

The three-year project will train students to build the highway networks which are developing strongly in Vietnam.

Tsuno Motonori, chief representative of JICA in Vietnam, said JICA experts will work with the College of Transport to compile a teaching curriculum and help teachers improve their teaching skills. Students will be equipped with the essential knowledge and skills to supervise construction projects, especially highways. Graduates will be able to work efficiently without further training.
