Japan’s Kosen model in workforce training introduced

The model has been applied in Japan since the 1960s, connecting high-quality workforce training with enterprises to ensure that all graduates will land jobs. 

Participants shared the view that the Vietnamese Government always pays attention to high-quality human resources training to meet demand for economic development and global integration. 

Vietnam now has three universities and three colleges that adopt Kosen model. Since 2016, they have learned about the model and improved curricula in a systematic way. 

This year, the model will offer support to pilot schools and expand to other vocational training establishments under the management of the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs. 

The four-year project aims for safety and innovation training, active study and technical design education. 

Participating training establishments also connect with local and Japanese firms to generate jobs for graduates.
