Since 2017, colleges can enroll students according to the regulations issued by the Ministry of Labor – Invalids and Social Affairs in accordance with the Law on Vocational Education.

Suitable for the level and conditions of the majority of students nowadays
Compared to university level, the amount of technical knowledge taught in the college system has been reduced to cater for the level of the students.
Highly practical curriculum
The curriculum of vocational colleges is highly practical, and students are taught in detail until they can apply into practice. Therefore, upon graduation, it is easy for students to find a job in the related fields.
Training to address the actual needs of the labor market
Students enrolling in college do have to face unemployment problems because all colleges have their training programs designed and adjusted to address the actual needs of the labor market. College graduates will be welcomed by employers rather than being tired of sending out resumes without a response.
Recognition of education with the nationwide validity
College students not only gain experience and professional knowledge, but a college degree is also valid nationwide, bringing career opportunities that are by no means inferior to university level.
Possession of remarkable skills after completing the degree
It is common that most employers prefer to hire skilled workers because it does not take time to re-train. This is a great advantage for those who have a college degree.
In fact, no matter how good you are, you still have to learn a great deal to improve yourself in your first year of work. However, there are certain benefits for those who recruit college graduates such as low investment costs and a high chance to train them gradually if they are looking for a long-term commitment with the company.
