PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The project was designed to strengthen vocational training institutes in Vietnam by developing institutional strategies and providing targeted technical assistance. Five vocational institutes were selected, each of which received comprehensive support aimed at enhancing their capacity and aligning their operations with the needs of the labor market.

The project was implemented by ICON-INSTITUT and began with a detailed SWOT analysis for each institute, identifying strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. This analysis provided a foundation for defining clear development goals tailored to the specific needs of each institution. In collaboration with the institutes and relevant stakeholders, a key focus was placed on fostering partnerships with the private sector, recognizing the importance of aligning vocational training with industry demands. Resource planning was a critical component, addressing both organizational and staff development to ensure that the institutes had the necessary human and material resources to meet their goals. Procurement plans for technical equipment were carefully designed to modernize training facilities, while building measures were also outlined to improve the physical infrastructure.

Financial analyses were conducted to ensure the sustainability of these improvements, and specialized training courses were planned to enhance the institutes’ ability to deliver relevant, high-quality vocational education. By the end of the project, these initiatives collectively strengthened the management and operational capacity of the vocational institutes, setting them on a path to long-term success and greater alignment with Vietnam’s evolving labor market needs.
