They practice professional manners, know how to handle situations in the working environment, thereby improving the quality of training, helping students easily adapt and meet the requirements of businesses after graduation.

In fact, not only the two above units but also most other vocational training centers in the province also focus on implementing the motto "theory linked to practice", regularly organizing for students to visit and experience real life at enterprises. This activity not only consolidates professional knowledge but also helps students quickly access the industrial environment, more confident when entering the labor market. Along with that, the units have actively invested in facilities and equipment suitable for each training industry. Thanks to that, students have many opportunities to practice and come into contact with equipment and technology during the learning process. This is a great advantage when employers today no longer focus on degrees but value practical working skills.

At Lang Son College, the largest vocational training facility in the province, there have also been many innovations. In recent times, the school has built and upgraded the workshop, put into operation a system of equipment for practicing fashion sewing with modern industrial sewing machines.

These investments create the best learning and vocational training environment for students, meeting the increasingly high demands of the training program and the labor market.

Student Dang Thuy Nga, Sewing and Fashion Design class, Lang Son College shared: “During the course, we practiced directly on the modern industrial sewing machine system that the school invested in. Thanks to that, I practiced my skills proficiently, and got familiar with the production process like in professional sewing factories. This helped me feel more confident when I graduated, I could work in a business or open my own garment factory at home to develop my career.”

Along with investing in facilities, vocational training units also actively respond to emulation movements, implementing innovative teaching methods in the direction of developing learners' capacity. Teachers proactively develop appropriate lesson plans, focusing on life skills education and professional training. Testing and assessment of learning outcomes are also innovated in the direction of assessing capacity and skills. Thanks to that, the quality of training is increasingly improved, students are not only solid in theory but also proficient in skills. According to the units, every year the rate of students who have jobs or choose to continue studying after graduation reaches more than 90%.
