A shortage of experts, failure of educational facilities and equipment to meet demand and old training curriculums are obstacles to the engagement of business in vocational training and education, Thành said. The Labour Code only regulates the role of enterprises in establishing vocational training institutes or organising training for their employees, but ignores many other aspects, she said. A mechanism that institutionalises the co-operation with the business sector should be jointly developed to suit Vietnamese conditions, she said. Ninh said to strengthen the connection between industry and vocational training, there should be alignment between laws, regulations and other legal documents. Amendments related to vocational education are expected to facilitate and provide opportunities for employees to get training and improve their occupational skills.
