Do Thi Kim Lien, director of CBAM, said that this programme aims to solve the issue of "teachers redundancy and the lack of workers" in Vietnam. CBAM recruits high school graduates, who will register with its schools to study in CBAM. After evaluating and selecting the appropriate person, CBAM will sign a German Level B2.1 training contract in Vietnam.

"Students who come to Germany will be offered a B2.2 intensive course, followed by a three-year apprenticeship, with a specialty in hospitality, such as chefs, catering, and housekeeping. The future can extend to other industries, such as mechanics, construction, and medicine," she added.

Trainees at SBH, while studying in the restaurant business, will receive free tuition. In particular, the minimum salary is EUR550-700 per month. After graduating, they will receive assistance in finding jobs at restaurants, international hotels, and luxury resorts in Germany, starting from EUR1,600-2,500 per month.

At the end of the course, students will be assessed by the German Industry Department in accordance with national standards. After three years of apprenticeship, trainees will continue to complete a graduation report.

According to the General Department of Vocational Training under the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, the country's vocational training strategies to 2020 are aimed to meet the labour demand in terms of quantity, industry structure, and training level. In particular, it will focus on providing training for the key occupations of ASEAN countries and the world, improving income, reducing poverty, ensuring social security, and increasing the rate of job creation through training to 63 per cent by 2020.
