More Gov’t officials to be trained abroad
As many as 150 senior officials and directors across Vietnam will be trained in leadership skills and management of human resources in Singapore this year.
The officials, who are district Party secretaries and chairpersons of People’s Committees at district level, will participate in six training courses run by Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University under a programme designed to train governmental officials and directors abroad.
The office of Programme 165 told a meeting in Hanoi on July 11 that the courses are scheduled to take place from August to December this year.
Under a cooperation agreement signed between the office and the Singaporean university in June 2012, four training courses have already been held, helping improve the capacity of 100 officials.
All knowledge and experiences they gained from the training have been shared with more than 2,000 people.
At the meeting, the northern province of Quang Ninh and the Centre for Public Administration under the Singaporean university also agreed to cooperate in training provincial officials this year.
