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.
