The component aims to support the development of the LILAMA 2 Technical and Technology College to become one of the first Centres of Excellence for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in Vietnam. LILAMA 2 Technical and Technology College in the southern province of Dong Nai shall be a role model for TVET quality achieving German standards.
Under the agreement, MoLISA and GIZ will work together to implement vocational training programmes to meet the increasing demand for skilled workers in Vietnam’s current industrialisation process.
“LILAMA 2 College as a capable and highly motivated partner will serve not only as a role model for the spread of high quality TVET and further development of the Centre of Excellence Network in Vietmam and in the region but also as an example for the further commitment of German development cooperation to the support of Centres of Excellence,” said Jochem Lange.
