ASSET-H&C, is a unique network of innovative vocational training centers that support the social and economic inclusion of vulnerable people in Southeast Asia, through training and professional integration in hospitality & catering. It brings together 13 schools willing to work hand in hand to better fulfill their common mission of making a positive impact on the lives of disadvantaged youths and adults across Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand, Phillipines, and Vietnam.

The network promotes hands-on, market-related, and sustainable educational approaches in Technical, Vocational Education. It also is a key regional player in sustainable hospitality and tourism.

Building a strong, lifelong relationship with graduates is essential for vocational schools, yet maintaining that connection poses unique challenges. On May 29, 2025, school staff, trainers, social workers, and directors across the ASSET-H&C network gathered online for GetTogether #13—an inspiring knowledge exchange focused on the art of alumni engagement from KOTO (Know One, Teach One).
