Viet Nam has experienced socio-economic growth over the past decades and aims to further transform its economic structure towards modernisation, industrialisation, and sustainable development, with the goal of becoming an upper-middle-income country by 2030 and a high-income developed country by 2045. In this context, the development of human resources with skills aligned to digital and green transformation has been identified as one of its key strategic breakthroughs. Therefore, building a quality, open, flexible, modern, interconnected, and inclusive TVET system is essential to prepare a workforce that meets labour market demands.
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.
The program TVET is looking for a qualified and professional candidate to fill the following position:
