Within the framework of the Vietnam-Germany Cooperation Programme “Reform of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in Vietnam”, from April 19-21, 2023, the workshop “Change management and Conflict Resolution” for mid-level managers of TVET Institutes was conducted at Vietnamese – German Technical College of Ha Tinh. The training workshop supports participants in gaining knowledge and skills to manage changes and conflict resolution and improve effectiveness in operational activities at their colleges.
During the three-day workshop, the participants were taught to be aware of the role of Changes, to identify the stages of organisational changes, and required skills to manage changes effectively. Participants were trained on methods to motivate positive organisational changes in their TVET group or organisation to adapt to the requirements of the changing world of work.
In addition, participants had the opportunity to learn deeply about typical types and sources of Conflicts, scenarios in an organisation from different perspectives. Participants also practiced analysing real-life case study in management at their college to improve conflict resolution skills by identifying their own and others’ conflict management styles. Thereby, participants can apply the trained knowledge and skills accumulated to improve their management efficiency at 11 partner colleges.
Talking about the training workshop, Mr. Nguyen Van Hoa – Head of Training Department of Long An College shared: “The content of the training workshop is very interesting and useful, managers can apply to realistic situations in our TVET colleges. We hope that GIZ organise more training workshops for mid-level managers to improve management capacity, especially in Conflicts Resolutions.”
This is an annual activity to develop the leadership and management capacity of the leaders of TVET Institutes according to international standards. This activity is carried out within the framework of the Component “Support of High Quality TVET Institutes”, under the Vietnam-Germany Cooperation Programme “Reform of TVET in Vietnam”.
The Programme “Reform of TVET in Viet Nam” is commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH in cooperation with the Vietnamese Directorate of Vocational Education and Training (DVET) under the Ministry of Labour – Invalids and Social Affairs (MoLISA). The programme aims to better align TVET to the changing world of work which will be increasingly digital and green.
