This partnership is working to develop an information technology (IT) curriculum at Kien Giang Community College (KGCC). The partners will train Vietnamese faculty in IT and workforce development, make the curriculum relevant to workplace needs, and integrate English for Special Purposes (ESP) into the KGCC IT program to promote educational quality and contribute to economic development. These objectives will be accomplished through training sessions held at KGCC, a training session held in the United States, and ongoing online mentoring. The partners expect to establish a workforce development model that can be used by other community colleges and institutions in Vietnam.
