Additionally, the system offers industrial sewing machine repair training for seven dedicated trainees.

In 2023, Go Cong Vocational Intermediate School sent eight representatives to the 9th Tien Giang Vocational Teacher Conference held at Tien Giang College and Tien Giang Medical College. The school's dedication bore fruit, securing three third prizes and five consolation prizes.
