On the Vietnamese side, the event was witnessed by representatives of the Vietnamese Embassy in the Federal Republic of Germany.

According to the agreement, the German Avestos Group will ensure vocational training for trainees and help skilled workers integrate into the German labor market, while also supporting the protection of their rights in Germany as defined by the program. Avestos will collaborate with the Vietnamese company Devis to implement the conditions stipulated in the intern/skilled worker contracts.

Meanwhile, Vien Dong College is responsible for collaborating with Devis to provide counseling and career guidance to high school students in Ho Chi Minh City when needed. The college will also be accountable for support programs, advising, and career counseling for its own students.
