Conclusion

To avoid middle-income trap, development of vocational

training in Vietnam is a priority. With a view to ensuringsustainable and inclusive growth as well as the developmentof a highly-skilled workforce, priority is accorded to assistingthe disadvantaged in Vietnam so that they can have anequal opportunity for access to skills development.

As the market mechanism cannot solve the equity issuein vocational training, the role of the government in settingpolicies in support of the disadvantaged people is indispensable .

Many policies, programs are in place in Vietnam to support the disadvantagedin order to bring them into the formal training and learning system and givethem an open door for further training and recognition.
