TVU – On July 26th, the signing ceremony takes place at Tra Vinh University. Attendees include Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pham Tiet Khanh, Chairman of Tra Vinh University Council and President of VACC; Assoc. Prof. Dr. Diep Thanh Tung, Vice President of Tra Vinh University; Dr. Nguyen Chinh, Rector of Tra Vinh Vocational College; Dr. Pham Quang Huy, Rector of Dong Thap Community College, and other members of VACC. Representing VTBA is Ms. Ngo Pham Tran, Chairwoman of the association, along with other delegation members.
During the opening ceremony, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pham Tiet Khanh states, “The signing ceremony is an opportunity for cooperation to help VACC members train human resources for Taiwanese businesses investing in Vietnam. We aim to meet human resource needs and provide a skilled workforce to serve Taiwanese industrial zones investing in Vietnam. This is a step towards creating conditions for both sides to initiate the development of expanded cooperation agreements.” He hopes that VTBA will support training institutions in meeting Taiwanese businesses’ needs and necessary capacities and create opportunities for graduates to meet the market’s demands best.

Ms. Ngo Pham Tran points out that currently, Taiwanese businesses are investing, promoting, cooperating, and deploying Taiwanese industrial zones in localities. These businesses are seeking high-quality human resources for mid-level, team leader positions, as well as general labor, with the goal of utilizing local labor. Taiwanese businesses provide reasonable remuneration, welfare regimes, and high promotion opportunities, which create opportunities for the development of human resources and long-term commitment to the company. This is the starting step in the cooperation between the parties, aiming to follow the needs and desires of businesses, suitable for the recruitment needs of Taiwanese businesses’ supply chains.

During the signing ceremony, both sides exchange, discuss, and agree on proposals to understand the common needs of Taiwanese businesses investing in Vietnam in terms of education level, skills, and capacity. VACC will provide the capacity of its members for VTBA to consider and select suitable labor sources. Both sides will consider organizing a seminar to get a closer look at the production model and create conditions for training orders between the parties.
The parties will help equip the necessary training equipment for on-site training. They will also mobilize businesses and members of VTBA to provide scholarships to support students in their studies and training to meet the needs of Taiwanese businesses. Additionally, they will support the teaching staff and teaching methods to train the Chinese language for VACC members.
In his speech at the signing ceremony, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Diep Thanh Tung, Vice-Rector of Tra Vinh University, proposes implementing cultural and educational programs prioritized for Vietnamese students by the Taiwanese government and creating conditions for students and workers to have closer access to the Taiwanese market. He also suggests expanding investment cooperation of businesses in promoting commercial products and consuming OCOP products to contribute to the socio-economic development of Tra Vinh province in particular and the whole country in general.

The signing ceremony of the cooperation agreement between VTBA and VACC marks a new turning point in the cooperative development relationship between the two sides, promising to bring about good achievements and contribute to further development in the future of the units.
