Viet Nam has achieved socio-economic growth over the past decades and is pursuing further economic transformation towards modernisation, industrialisation, and sustainable development. In this context, the development of human resources equipped with competencies that support digital and green transformation has been identified as a key strategic priority.

The Vietnamese-German technical cooperation project "Programme Reform of Technical and Vocational Education and Training in Viet Nam III" (TVET III) aims to strengthen the Vietnamese TVET system towards supporting a socially just, green, and digital transformation of the economy (the "Just Twin Transition"). The programme is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by GIZ in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Training (MoET).
A co-financing contribution from the European Union to the TVET III Programme is currently under preparation within the framework of the Multi-Donor Action "EU-Viet Nam TVET Programme" (VETVET), with contributions from the EU, Germany, and France. The planned duration of VETVET is up to five years, with the objective of improving the knowledge and job skills of the labour force for decent employment and entrepreneurship in the context of climate change mitigation, and the green and digital transitions in Viet Nam.
