The agriculture
and forestry colleges in Laos are a major educator for skilled workforce in the agriculture, livestock, forestry and irrigation sector. With their student-centered and practice-oriented approach they emphasis on linking training to the labor market.
The recent tracer studies of higher-diploma graduates from 2016 & 2017 of three colleges brought up some encouraging examples of young graduates engaged in self-employed businesses. One inspiring example is Mr Duangda who is running an earth-worm-compost business in Sangthong district, now able to generate sufficient income for the whole family and to support his younger brother in further education.
