The further training on “Basic manufacturing and forming of sheet metal and sheet profiles by bending” for 09 Mechanical teachers of LILAMA 2 International Technology College was conducted from 06 – 10/07/2020 and organised at this right LILAMA 2 College. This is considered as one of the project-oriented training courses which was carried out by qualified LILAMA 2’s multiplier – Mr. Tran Huu Phuoc –  who conveyed the basic knowledge and skills on metal sheet manufacturing, and how to use different kinds of machines, such as saw machine, sheet metal bending machine and spot welding machine.   

The aim of the training is enabling the participants to analyse technical drawings exactly, especially regard to bending processes, to plan and manufacture complex bent parts and to use joining techniques for further processing. During the training, the participants had chances to show their competences through working individually and collaborate with their own team members to produce and complete final products like the screw boxes and dustpans.

Mr. Tran Huu Phuoc stated: “I noticed that two female participants are actively involved in every single sheet cutting and forming process, using measuring devices and metal bending machines, even better than male participants”. He added: “Some young participants performed so well while experienced teachers can share their knowledge and skills to the younger generations. Everyone strived hard to properly and accurately measure to produce the final products during this remarkable week”.

Ms. Nguyen Hoang Van remarked: “I often provide theoretical lessons for students, yet I admit that this training course is both useful for theoretical and practical parts in my daily lessons indeed. The Trainer is so enthusiastic, and everyone supported each other”.

This training course was held within the component “Support of Centres of Excellence for TVET” as part of the Vietnamese-German “Programme Reform of TVET in Viet Nam”. The programme is financed by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) together with the Vietnamese Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MoLISA).
