For the first time, Vietnam has applied new processes in CIS NG software application of World Skills Organization for for synthesizing and automatically ranking. The scores of competitors are entered into the computer publicly at the competition's venue in the presence of the jury. The most important implication of the 10th ASEAN Skills Competition is defining the position on Vietnam vocational skills in the region. Abilities and skills of candidates do not differ from each other much, thus, the competition between countries is not easy. Lao delegation won a silver medal for the first time. Myanmar gained a certificate for the first time of participation.

Prof. Dr. Duong Duc Lan, General Director of the General Department of Vocational Training, emphasized that the results of Vietnam delegation are due to their best efforts. Vietnam team has six careers achieving two gold medals. Dominating occupations are mecha-tronics, brick production, automotive technology, website design, industrial automation... Some occupations won medal golds as tiling walls and floors, water pipes, electrical installation, carpentry - fine art, fashion... Undertaking the position as leader of Vietnam delegation participating in regional and global competitions, Mr. Duong Duc Lan shared that apart from being the host, Vietnam had no advantage in this competition.

From the great achievement of the competition, Mr. Lan hopes that the vocational training sector will appeal more learners. Looking forward to the world skills competition, Mr. Duong Duc Lan confirmed that, such occupations as fine art-carpentry, cooking, website design, etc are huge advantages of Vietnam. Specifically, in this competition, the field of automotive technology firstly won two gold medals. This success may be thanked to the time of studying at school and directly training at companies. By dint of having chances to practicing, candidates can improve their skills greatly. However, some occupations, such as beauty care, hair design have not been improved their position. Fashion design profession also won a gold medal. However, this profession has not gain an absolute advantage yet.

Deputy Minister of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs Nguyen Ngoc Phi, said that there are 56 million people in Vietnam labor force. We set a target that by 2015, 40% of labor will have been trained well, which is a big challenge. In the region, some countries like Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, though they have fewer medals in this competition, but their economies are much developed than Vietnam economy. This requires young workforce need to be well subsidized with vocational training policies in the future, as well as focusing on implementing the decision  of Vietnam government on building 40 high-quality vocational schools. In World Skills Competition 2013 in Germany, Vietnam won vocational certificates, ranking 23/67. In 2015, Vietnam hopes to gain a copper medal at least. Preparation for this competition is conducted from now. Candidates will be trained in Japan and Korea - two leading countries of vocational training in the world. With the theme "Skills - Our true value", the 10th ASEAN Skills Competition ended after the contest of 283 competitors from 10 ASEAN countries.
