Vocational education enrollment accelerated

Recently, vocational training institutions in Khanh Hoa Province have innovated enrollment consulting for the 2025-2026 school year with applications having reached over 50% of the targeted enrollment. Institutions are implementing initiatives to attract more learners and are determined to meet their enrollment goals.

Broadening enrollment guidance approaches 

Tran Gia Bao (Hoa Thang Ward) has decided to apply to Nha Trang College of Technology (Nam Nha Trang Ward). He said: “When I was in grade 12 at Nguyen Chi Thanh High School, Nha Trang College of Technology organized a career guidance session to introduce its training programs, preferential policies and the benefits of vocational education. Therefore, after finishing high school, I applied to the college and chose to study refrigeration and air conditioning engineering.”

To attract students, in addition to direct consulting sessions at high schools, Nha Trang College of Technology has also used social networks, media, and websites to provide admission information. “Career Experience Day” was also held for high school students to experience the workshops and laboratories, helping them better understand the profession, thereby they can choose suitable specialties for their abilities and interests. The college has enrolled more than 50% of the targets of enrolling 800 and 700 at intermediate and college levels so far. The college is focusing on admission counseling for those who have taken their high school graduation exam.
