Costs and benefits of company-based training in Vietnam : chances and limitations of applying the BIBB cost-benefit model

Abstract

"Many countries aim to involve more companies in the vocational education and training system. Transparency of the actual costs and benefits of com-pany-based training activities helps governmental authorities to steer this process adequately and can be used to convince firms to increase their in-volvement in company-based training. This article illustrates the challenges of implementing a cost and benefit study in Vietnam. It discusses the ap-plication of the BIBB cost-benefit model, the implementation of the survey, and the interpretation of the main results under special consideration of the different contextual conditions."
