Vocational education is closely linked to the labor market.

Engineer Tran Quang Hau - Vice Principal of Central College affirmed that Resolution 71 clearly stated the guiding viewpoint throughout: "Learning goes hand in hand with practice, theory is closely linked to reality, school is closely linked to society". This is a major orientation, of special importance to vocational training institutions today.

In that spirit, the Central College strongly implements a training model linked to reality, in which the practice ratio accounts for more than 70% of the total program duration. Students not only study theory but also directly participate in practice sessions, community projects and real-life experience models. This helps students grasp theory, master skills, and be ready to enter the labor market immediately after graduation.

Students study closely linked to practice and business needs.

The school also innovates its training program according to output standards linked to business needs; applies digital technology in teaching; and trains a team of lecturers with practical experience. At the same time, the school opens new professions such as nursing, information technology, marketing, etc. to meet current development trends and human resource needs.

In order to improve the quality of human resources in the spirit of Resolution 71, maintaining a close cooperation network with businesses is necessary. According to Mr. Hau, businesses not only participate in building training programs but also receive interns, sponsor scholarships and recruit students after graduation. The school also sets up a team of career consultants, supporting students in practicing soft skills, starting and establishing a career, creating a strong bridge between training and the labor market.

This is the foundation for schools to develop high-quality programs, strengthen linkages with universities and international integration, contributing to training highly skilled human resources for the Central Highlands region,” Mr. Hau emphasized.
