Collaboration between industry-government-academia to modernize and increase the quality of graduates Prof. Dr. Đỗ Văn Dũng University of Technical Education 25 March 2014
FRAGMETATION OF VIETNAM TVET SYSTEM • Fragmentation in vocational education system is leading to: • Focus on training, not on education. • Vocational education is not playing the right role. • Discrepancy in a vocational school between MoET & MoLISA
VOCATIONNAL GUIDANCE • Vocational guidance and careers guidance start up from 11-12 grade in order to moderate and split students to universities (Instead of lower secondary school). • Vocational guidance and career guidance stop when students entrance to the vocational school. • Lack of professional Careers adviser in secondary school. • Students go to vocational school or training center when they have no choice.
UNBALANCE IN VIETNAM’S EDUCATION SYSTEM • Only 14.2 % workforce were trained. • Unbalance in Vietnam’s education system in producing bachelor graduates and vocational/professional graduates.
VOCATIONAL PECENTAGE AFTER MANDANTORY EDUCATION • The high percentage of Vietnam’s youth not receiving proper training: • Elementary traning: 2,5% • Secondary professional: 1,8% • No training: 95,7% • Every year there are 300,000 15 years old youths added to no training workforce!
INDUSTRY THINKING • Industry is disappointed with the low quality of workforce • Enterprises haven’t seen profit from engagement with engineering and technology institutions (except some). • Wasteful expenditure due to Enterprises using high level workforce as low level. • Advantages of low cost workforce changed into low quality workforce
COOPERATE WITH THE GOVERNMENT TO MAXIMISE WORKFORCE SKILLS • Encouraging and enabling people to learn throughout life • Fostering international mobility of skilled people to fill skills gaps • Promoting cross-border skills policies Developing relevant skills • Encouraging people to offer their skills to the labour market • Retaining skilled people in the labour market Activating skills supply • Creating a better match between people’s skills and the requirements of their job • Increasing the demand for high-level skills Putting skills to effective use
ENCOURAGE EMPLOYER ENGAGEMENT • Greater economic competitiveness – for countries, for sectors and for individual firms • Higher quality jobs, more productive workforce • More sustainable economic and social outcomes Skills are a long-term investment for growth and productivity • Relevant through time – immediate, evolving and longer term skill needs • Relevant mix of foundation skills, technical skills and generic/life skills (teamwork, communication, initiative, problem solving etc) Skills need to be relevant for growth and productivity • Employers know about what skills they need • Employers can transform their workplaces to make the most of skills • Employers benefit from supporting investments up and down the supply chain Employers need to be engaged in skills development
SETTING UP THE CHAIN OF VOCATION-EDUCATION-INDUSTRY • Employers know labour market needs best • Employers need to be involved in: • Designing curricula and qualifications • Monitoring emerging requirements • Developing workplace training arrangements • Government & Other stakeholders also need to be involved VET works best when responsive to labour market needs • Workplaces offer real on-the-job experience for learning hard and soft skills • Workplace learning lets potential employers and employees learn about each other • Employer willingness to offer workplace training signals that a VET programme is relevant • Workplace learning helps to keep student places aligned with likely future employment demand VET works best when combining workplace and classroom learning
