Currently, the percentage of trained labors in the region has reached only 18.0% of 10.7 million.

V. DEVELOPMENT ORIENTATION:

Haiphong Vocational College of Tourism and Services is defined to be an international standard training institution by 2015. With the fund of 480 billion VND equal to 24 Mill. USD from the Vocational Training Renovation Project in the period of 2011 - 2020, an investment is going to be put in training both managing and teaching staff in their professions and English, in developing training programs (syllabus) and course books to meet the requirements, in supplying new training equipments and especially in building an international 3-star practical hotel.

In Hai Phong and the neighboring provinces, there have not been any training institutions which provide training in hotel management, F&B management, business management, financial management, etc... Students who can afford the costs have to study abroad. From the learner’’s needs and the plan of developing international quality human resources in the region, we are looking for the co-operative partner schools with the following principles required :

- The Hai Phong Vocational College of Tourism and Services will provide the facilities and technical equipments, take care of living and working conditions of lecturers and learners, manage training process. The local teachers will teach some subjects in the program if such approved.

- The co-operative schools will provide training programs, course books, and lecturers for specialized subjects, will assure training qualities and coordinate with the college in issuing the degrees.

With such proposals we hope for an effective cooperation based on each side’s advantaged components
