With a view to developing capacity for the in-company trainers in order to ensure the quality and efficiency of the cooperative training model between vocational education and training institutes (TVET institutes) and their partner enterprises, the Programme “Reform of TVET in Viet Nam” organized the Pilot Training Workshop on “Basic Pedagogical Skills for In-company Trainers” during 14-17 July 2020 in Ho Chi Minh City.

Twenty-three officers responsible for in-company training from six TVET institutes and ten partner enterprises attended the Workshop. During the course, the participants were introduced, instructed and practiced to organize in-company vocational training following five steps: capacity assessment, training need assessment, training plan development, training implementation, and training evaluation. Four-step teaching method is used as the central approach.
