(Baonghean.vn) - On the morning of February 27, hundreds of demobilized soldiers began to register for admission to Vocational College No. 4 - Ministry of National Defense. On the first day in the new environment, the soldiers brought with them excitement and hope...
Many career options
At just after 7am, Mr. Phan Van Tien and his son traveled more than 50km from Duc Tho district (Ha Tinh) toVocational College No. 4 - Ministry of National Defenseto complete the admission procedures for their children. Here, the father and son went straight to the Faculty of Automotive Technology and were consulted by the faculty staff about the training major, admission time and preferential policies for discharged soldiers.
His son himself has just completed 2 years of training at the division, so he is very excited about this program: Before completing training at unit C23, F324, he was consulted by the school and chose to study automotive technology. His family has always supported him because during his high school years, he studied well and worked hard. After returning from the army, he became more mature and decisive, and I believe in his decision, Mr. Tien shared.
After a short Tet holiday, Luong Van Linh from Muong Noc commune (Que Phong) - who had joined the army at a unit in Do Luong - also said goodbye to his family to complete the admission procedures on the first day of enrollment.
Although I come from a place far from the city center, I was quite confident in the process of completing the procedures, because from the moment I stepped into the school gate, learned about the admission information and registered for admission, I was enthusiastically advised by the teachers at the school. Personally, I also feel that I have become more mature and thoughtful after 2 years of military service and I believe that my choice of vocational training is correct.
I decided to enroll in Vocational College No. 4 - Ministry of National Defense because the school is a reliable address for vocational training and job creation, especially for demobilized soldiers. I myself have also carefully researched the training professions and I believe that, after studying here, I will have the conditions to develop myself and have a stable job after graduation...
Before enrolling, this Thai ethnic student also said that his family was a farmer, his parents only lived by farming, so life was still difficult. However, he was not too worried because he received support according to the policy for demobilized soldiers. Moreover, he had some savings from the military support fund, so he would spend all the money to cover his studies and living expenses at school.
Automotive technology is one of the majors chosen by many students. This is also a key major, approaching the world level of the school and is invested in both facilities, teaching equipment, and teaching staff.
Sharing more about the training work of the department, Lieutenant Colonel Le Van Thang - Head of the Department of Automotive Technology said: Today, many demobilized soldiers came directly to the department to learn about the curriculum. Currently, our department has 2 majors, which are Automotive Technology and Construction Machinery Operation with 3 levels of college, intermediate and elementary; each year, more than 300 demobilized soldiers receive elementary vocational training. To improve the efficiency and quality of training, every year the department invests in modern equipment to meet the practical needs of recruiting businesses.
In addition, the school's training program takes up about 50% of the time for students to study at businesses to both practice skills and increase income. Graduates all have stable jobs, are highly appreciated for their professional skills, discipline and industrial style.
Vocational College No. 4 - Ministry of National Defense is currently training at 3 levels: college, intermediate, primary, with 20 occupations. Of which, there are 7 key occupations including: 2 occupations approaching world level (automotive technology, refrigeration and air conditioning engineering); 5 occupations approaching regional level: welding, industrial electricity, construction machine operation, nursing, pharmacy.
To prepare for this year's admission season, the school has developed a detailed plan and prepared for many months. In particular, it focuses on counseling for demobilized soldiers right from their training in the units.
On the day of enrollment, the school’s staff, teachers, workers and students were also present at the departments and admissions offices to advise and support family members and discharged soldiers. On the first day of enrollment, despite the unfavorable weather, many discharged soldiers came to enroll and were excited about the school’s training program.
We try to create the best conditions, build a closed admission process in terms of documents so that students can easily enroll in the right major and their strengths. In addition, the school implements well the policies according to regulations so that students can feel secure during their studies at the school. Currently, the subjects are demobilized soldiers and demobilized police officers who study elementary vocational training, are exempted from 100% of vocational training fees; are supported with living expenses and travel expenses according to regulations; and are given priority in dormitories.
Effective “output”
On the first day of enrollment, in parallel with the career counseling, Vocational College No. 4 - Ministry of National Defense also conducted job counseling and labor export. The first time coming to school and bringing along his two nephews who were soldiers who had just left the army before Tet, Mr. Tran Tuan Khang (Hong Linh town - Ha Tinh province) said: Both of my nephews chose the mechanical engineering - welding major and if they studied at the elementary level, they would only need to study for 10 months to complete the program. Therefore, after registering for admission, we came here to learn about job opportunities and labor export opportunities after graduation. After more than 10 minutes of consulting, I felt very secure.
At the consulting desk, by 8am, there were more than 50 new students of the school who had come to register to study Korean and wanted to work abroad.
Through the discussion, Ms. Nguyen Thi Thao - recruitment staff of the Joint Training Center added: Currently, the Korean market opens up many opportunities for workers, which are the E9 EPS program and the E9.4 program. In particular, the E9.4 program is only for demobilized soldiers trained at 22 vocational schools nationwide, including Vocational College No. 4 - Ministry of National Defense. In addition, there is the E7 - 3 program for highly skilled workers with international skills (3G - 4G) with intermediate level or higher.
According to the school representative, the E9 program of the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs is currently receiving attention due to its low cost. In the past year, many students of the school have completed their applications after completing their studies to have the opportunity to work abroad. Students who want to go to the skilled labor program can take a bridging course to improve their qualifications.
To improve the quality of training, in addition to being consulted on labor export and internships in countries with developed economies and high incomes such as Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, the school's students are also introduced to jobs at domestic enterprises for free.
Before that, during their time at the school, students were trained at the company, and the company arranged transportation to the workplace and free dormitory accommodation. In addition, the company also paid for their personal insurance, provided them with regular health check-ups, and provided them with full protective gear. After graduation, the company signed a long-term contract with the students after training and paid them a salary of 7-11 million VND during the study period according to the company's agreement.
According to the school's plan, the recruitment of demobilized soldiers and police officers will last until mid-March 2024. Also in this month, Vocational College No. 4 - Ministry of National Defense will also organize a conference on career orientation, domestic employment and labor export for the first batch of 2024.
Vocational College No. 4 - Ministry of National Defense is one of 70 colleges that the Government has focused on investing in to become a high-quality school. In the past time, with the motto: "Training quality is the first choice - Job creation is the number 1 priority", we always create the best conditions for students, properly implement the regulations on policies, especially policies for demobilized soldiers.
We also believe that with careful preparation, with the school's history and tradition, this year's enrollment season, the school will complete its assigned tasks and goals and become a reliable destination for students.
