In recent years, Germany has become one of the attractive destinations for young Vietnamese workers through the Dual Vocational Training Program Ausbildung. According to data from the German Federal Labor Agency, in 2024 alone, about 7,100 new vocational training contracts were signed with Vietnamese students in the dual vocational training system in Germany, focusing on areas such as healthcare, nursing, restaurants - hotels, mechanics and electricity - electronics.
However, in the context of Germany increasingly tightening international human resource quality requirements, businesses not only need workers to "know German", but also need candidates with flexible communication skills, understand working culture, comply with discipline and handle professional situations well from the beginning.
In reality, there is still a gap between the certificate and language proficiency, many international students, even though they have achieved the B1 level according to the European framework, are still confused when participating in training and working in Germany. The reason comes from a lack of professional communication experience, understanding German corporate culture and not forming a standard professional mindset.
SHD Education: Combining language training with vocational skills through the B2 specialized program
Recognizing these challenges, SHD Education has upgraded the training model, focusing on standardizing specialized B2 German language combined with vocational skills training and integrating German culture right in Vietnam, focusing on 3 main groups: Health care, Services, Engineering - Construction. Accordingly, there are 4 training highlights in the program:
professional language training: The B2 program at SHD does not stop at grammar and words, but focuses on professional communication. Trainees are allowed to practice writing work reports, project presentations, handling situations and communicating with customers according to practical career scenarios.
job situation simulation: SHD builds a simulation environment close to the real situation, from mechanical workshop, hospital room to restaurant - hotel. Students are allowed to practice German vocational skills and standard working processes right in Vietnam.
Develop soft skills and cultural integration: Teamwork skills, cultural adaptation, problem-solving thinking and self-study ability. These skills help learners quickly integrate into the international environment.
Study with a native language teacher: Students are able to study and practice with a German teacher, thereby improving their language reflex ability and confidence in practical communication.
With this model, students not only have a firm grasp of German B2 but are also confident in an international working environment, ready to face the strict requirements of employers.
bilateral benefits of the specialized B2 training program
For young Vietnamese workers, they confidently communicate in the professional environment and daily life in Germany, equipped with practical professional skills, thereby improving work performance, opening up promotion opportunities, and at the same time building a professional image in front of businesses and the international working community.
For German enterprises, they receive high-quality labor, adapt quickly to the working environment, reduce training costs and improve work efficiency, while increasing prestige and sustainable attachment to international human resources.
SHD - Accompanying young Vietnamese people
In addition to foreign language and vocational skills training, SHD also organizes seminars and vocational counseling for students before going to Germany. These activities help students clearly understand their rights and obligations when participating in the Azubi program, prepare for international work psychology and culture, and develop a long-term career plan suitable for their personal abilities and interests.
With a model of advanced German language training, cultural practice and hands-on vocational experience; SHD Education is gradually affirming its quality in developing Vietnamese human resources, contributing to building a young generation of confident - professional - ready to reach far in Germany and in the international arena.
