Short description of the project:
BIBB advises Vietnam's National Institute of Vocational Education in connection with the strategic reorganisation of the country's vocational training system. This work includes strategy development and the provision of advisory services in connection with modernising the legal foundation for the system, developing concepts for and setting up corresponding institutions (organisational development). BIBB has made fundamental contributions to the Institute's personnel and institutional development by conducting workshops, conferences and continuing training measures.
Another area of focus is the provision of advisory services in connection with the (demand-oriented) modernisation of 'training occupations' (occupations which require completion of formal vocational training), particularly in the area of information and communications technology. Trade and industry's involvement in the development of occupational, training and examination standards is particularly important in this connection. Corresponding instruments for determining training needs were jointly developed. In the area of vocational training research, BIBB advises the Institute with the aim of further optimising its research and development activities and linking them with other national and international institutions. This research provides the foundation for organising the country's vocational education and training system. The National Institute of Vocational Education plans to set up information and communications platforms for vocational education and training. The Communication and Information System for Vocational Education and Training (KIBB - www.kibb.de) which is attached to BIBB is to serve as a model for this. BIBB is providing corresponding advisory services in this connection.
Other areas of collaboration include quality assurance, qualification frameworks, permeability, financing concepts and financing mechanisms for vocational education and training.
