School-Enterprise Collaboration Oriented Model of Skilled Worker Training in Mekong Delta Region, Vietnam

Abstract

School-enterprise collaboration to technical and vocational training is an important solution to develop and improve the quality of human resources. Basing on the analysis of school-enterprise collaboration factors in training process, and labors characteristics in Mekong Delta, this article proposes the model of skilled worker training. Accordingly, enterprises join in the training process of vocational schools under the supportive from local policies. In training process, the vocational schools focus on teaching students in professional ethic, labor discipline and industrial-style, basic technical knowledge and professional skills. After that, the enterprises support students to practice in technical capacity improvement, professional ethic and industrial-style development. If the school-enterprise co-operation in technical and vocational training bases on the supporting of policies from the state authorities, it will ensure the interests for students, vocational schools and enterprises. Thus, this collaboration also contributes to develop the human resources in Mekong Delta, Vietnam to match with the current context.

Vocational teachers’ perceptions on workplace learning in facilitating students’ professional engagement in the context of industry-university collaboration in China

“…From the perspective of integrating teaching and work-related learning, companies act as channels for learning new industry standards and technologies, as well as giving opportunities for enterprise projects that teachers can then participate in whilst building up their students’ training base. As Van Hong and Luong (2018) suggest that the school-enterprise training base helps bridge the gap between the knowledge that is taught in vocational schools and the skills that are needed in the workplace, vocational teachers’ participation as facilitators in guiding students through the training process is also the key strategy for cultivating job-ready graduates. Since it is the era of “Internet + AI (artificial intelligence) manufacturing”, innovative and high-quality skilled talents have become the focus of vocational teaching and learning.…”

“…Combined with classroom-based teaching, the collaborated training models involve the contents and curricula of vocational qualifications. As Van Hong and Luong (2018) propose work practice is already a part of vocational teaching practice, and the collaboration with enterprises emphasises students' on-the-job training to reflect their experiences under systematic workplace supervision. Other researchers also state that work-integrated learning in a coworking environment can enhance students' enterprise capabilities with better preparation for the demands of the modern workplace (Jackson et al, 2022).…”

Evaluating model teacher education and training at Vietnam's universities of technology and education

“…According to Kieu, Singer, and Gannon (2016), education for sustainable development-related topics has been integrated into the curriculum. Similarly, Van Hong, Tuyen, and Thi Luong (2018) recommended that high-quality teacher training include technological competences, teaching method competencies and technology application capabilities in teaching. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the model of teacher education based on the aspects of planning, organizing and directing teacher training activities, as well as inspecting and evaluating the quality of teacher.…”

Activities of the practice teaching organization and vocational teaching facilities in collaboration between the vocational school and units employing

“…This collaboration enhances the nation's human resources (Van Hong & Luong, 2018). Therefore, vocational schools emphasize educating students on professional ethics, labor discipline, fundamental technical knowledge and professional skills.…”
