↗ Vietnam requires trained human resources to continue fuelling its rapid economic development. Although Vietnam has grown its skilled labour force significantly in recent years, that growth hasn’t kept up with the very real demand coming from industry.

↗ The lack of skilled workers is a challenge for Vietnam’s post-pandemic economic recovery. But it’s also an opportunity for Australia’s technical and vocational education and training sector.

↗ There are more university and college graduates than technical workers in Vietnam which could slow the country’s industrialisation.

↗ The roots of the problem are poor student awareness of career options, and poor coordination between industry and education sectors.

↗ The high demand for quality technical workers from Vietnamese companies could be an opportunity for the Australian TAFE sector.
