The College of the North Atlantic has signed a Memorandum of Understanding to bring the first international college to Vietnam.

CNA signed the three-year MOU with the Khoi Nguyen Investment Group to bring at least nine programs to the Asian country such as Licensed Practical Nursing, Early Childhood Education and Personal Care programs.

This is not the first international campus CNA has established as the college previously operated a campus in Qatar for over 20 years.

CNA President and CEO Liz Kidd says the partnership supports their commitment to international partnerships and allows them to share their expertise in providing hands-on learning.

They hope to provide training that will address global labour shortages and completion of any CNA program in Vietnam will be recognized by Canadian authorities.
