Universities produce graduates to businesses’ orders

VietNamNet Bridge 08 October 2016

About 400,000 students finish universities every year, but most of them cannot satisfy employers and they need to undergo retraining at their place of work. Therefore, businesses now tend to order universities to produce workers who can meet their standards, reports VietNamNet Bridge.

A survey released by job centre FALMI in late May showed that the demand for workers has been increasing in nearly all business fields, but in order to get workers who can satisfy business requirements, businesses either have to retrain workers or join forces with universities to organise training in accordance with ‘syllabuses’ set up by businesses.

Intel Products Vietnam’s CEO Sherry Boger complained that a lack of high-quality workers is a big difficulty for Intel. To deal with the problem, Intel has allocated a budget of US$20 million to send students abroad for training and returning to Intel Vietnam.
