“Science and technology are important enablers of economic and social growth, in which skilled workforce plays a vital role. During the past years, manufacturers in Dong Nai province have begun to implement advanced technologies. Furthermore, we will actively deploy training programmes in vocational education institutions,” said Nguyen Hoa Hiep, vice president of Dong Ni People’s Committee. “We are pleased to work closely with Bosch, a technological leader, so that we can continue to accelerate skilled labour while at the same time shaping Dong Nai province’s economy.”
