German state offers free vocational training for Vietnamese workers
Apr 09 2019
Vietnamese labourers will have opportunities to receive free vocational training in Germany under a programme to look for skilled workers in the Southeast Asian country launched by the Chamber of Industry and Commerce for South Thüringen (IHK Südthüringen).
A workshop was organised in Hanoi on April 8 to provide detail
information on the programme for local students who want to get
vocational training and work in Germany.
Since it was initiated in Vietnam in 2016 by the Hanoi IEC Co. Ltd
(HANOI IEC) - the representative office of IHK Südthüringen in Vietnam,
the programme has recruited 100 Vietnamese workers who later pursued
study in food processing, medical glass production, construction and
industrial hygiene, among others in the European country.
According to Dinh Thi Huong Giang from Hanoi IEC, Vietnamese students
are provided with free German-language training before going to Germany
to attend three-year courses. They have chances to work at German
enterprises after completing the training programme.
Andre Merkel, a representative from VR-Bank - a member of the
recruitment programme, expressed his satisfaction with the capacity of
Vietnamese students who are having internship in his company.
He hoped to receive more Vietnamese students in the time ahead.
