On the occasion of the launch of Phase 2 of the AI Opportunity Fund: Asia-Pacific, AVPN is pleased to announce that an Open Call for Expression of Interest has been published to identify Local Training Providers (LTPs) who can deliver basic AI literacy and skilling programmes to workers in Vietnam.

This initiative is supported by Google.org and ADB and builds on the success of Phase 1. The goal of the fund is to promote inclusive digital transformation and workforce resilience by empowering workers and jobseekers with foundational AI knowledge.

The Open Call will proceed in two stages:

  • Stage 1: Expression of Interest (EOI) – now open
  • Stage 2: Full Application – by invitation only


The deadline for submission of EOIs is 2 July 2025 at 23:59 Singapore time (GMT+8).
