2. Information Sources
Company surveys in CN and VN are not identical and the findings are therefore not fully comparable
Student feedback provided neither by CN nor by VN  further limitation of the available data
The identifications of skill gaps are consequently tentative only 2

3. Knowledge, Skill and Curicular Gaps found in CN
practical (vocational) education (training of skills to complement the theoretical knowledge)
soft skills (communication, problem solving, teamwork, management skills, pressure tolerance)
leadership skills
practical corporate experience (internships, on-job training et sim.)
collaborative enterprise-university training courses and student team projects
entrepreneurial spirit of students, including the start-up culture
social responsibility / business ethics 3

4. Knowledge, Skill and Curicular Gaps found in VN
soft skills (communication, problem solving, teamwork, management skills)
leadership skills
Internet security knowledge
certain up-to date technical knowledge and skills
professional writing literacy
practical corporate experience (internships, on-job training etc.)
practical (vocational) education (training of skills to complement the theoretical knowledge) 4

5. Knowledge, Skill and Curicular Gaps found in VN
collaborative enterprise-university training courses and student team projects
developing entrepreneurial spirit of students, including the start-up culture 5

6. Knowledge, Skill and Curicular Gaps found in VN
The comparison of the results of the two surveys reveal that in CN, unlike in VN, the employers do not feel major gaps in:
technical knowledge of students and alumni (including computer literacy and internet security)
writing literacy
and computational literacy
Oher gaps in the preparedness of students for jobs felt by employers in both countries are identical or similar:
practical experience, training and skills
soft skills 6

7. Further Remark
In both country surveys there were not covered the topics of:
language proficiency
intercultural competences
They apparently are out of scope in both countries, not felt as an issue
We however suspect that significant knowledge and skill gaps exist in those areas, too! 7
