Training activities

 

The lack of well-trained and experienced cleaner production specialists is one of the important barriers to implementation of cleaner production in Vietnamese industry. Hence, one of the key activities of the centre is to build up, through training, a human resource base (national experts) on cleaner production.

Sector specific training

At first, the Viet Nam Cleaner Production Centre has introduced a seven-module training programme for trainers in cleaner production (from May 1999 to August 2000) with the total 53 days (23 days of classroom and 30 days of practical works in company). Thenceforth, the intensive training programme has been modified so as to get really apt to the requirements of participants. The programme is now consisting of 4 modules and is more focused on the specific needs of the target sectors. The training activities are also combined with the in-plant demonstration activities, so practical experience and class room input will always go hand in hand. The total duration of this training was 15 days of classroom training and between 11 to 15 days of practical work in companies. The program is designed as illustrated in table below. By doing this, knowledge and experiences from qualified experts will be transferred to participants more effectively and practically. Results from our training program is vividly reflected from the results brought about by Implementing CP in our participant's working places.
