Asiana Airlines held a commencement ceremony Wednesday for its 2017 program helping underprivileged women in Vietnam find employment, according to the company Thursday.

Together with the Korea International Cooperation Agency and nonprofit organization Good People, Asiana Airlines has been running the “Vietnam -- Beautiful Classroom” program since 2015. To date, the program has produced roughly 350 graduates.

This year, 110 women completed the course.

Participating students receive training in service basics, English, Korean, computer skills and accounting. Asiana Airlines also helps graduates find employment with Korean companies that are operating in Vietnam. Past graduates have found jobs at Korean companies, at supermarkets, clinics and elementary schools according to Asiana.

“We provide practical training that can actually help these women find jobs,” said Oh Keun-nyoung, Asiana‘s executive vice president for corporate support. “We plan to continue providing support so that they can successfully find jobs.”
