#30: FDI drivers and the importance of German Education and Training

AHK Vietnam

In episode #30 of AHK Vietnam Podcast, we invite you to join us in a talk show where the host and our guest speakers have discussed the drivers of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Vietnam and the crucial role that German education and training systems play in the country's development. Nowadays, Vietnam constantly attracts significant amounts of FDI not only from small and medium-sized enterprises but also from large corporates, especially for German companies which are now diversifying their interest in Asia. One of the key factors driving this growth is the young and willing-to-learn population, and that’s why we want to explore how remarkably suitable education and training affect the quality of the labour force in Vietnam.  

Dr. Tomas Benz, President of the Vietnamese German University (VGU), and Marko Walde, Chief Representative of AHK Vietnam were bringing to the table insightful contributions from the perspective of an “educator” and a “consultor”. Join us to understand how German strong education and training system plays a significant role in the country’s economic success and how German dual vocational education and training in Vietnam contribute to the FDI landscape in Vietnam.  

To meet the high demand from numerous foreign companies in Vietnam for finding skilled workers, it is crucial to improve the education and training system. This improvement must happen not only in universities, colleges, or institutions but also in terms of vocational training programs since it is highly valued by German investors. While technological development has made a progress and amazed the world with various applications of AI, young people must put more effort into developing skills and expertise to remain competitive and keep up with global trends. All of these aspects would be raised and enlightened in this talk show guided by the host – Ms. Trang Dao, Head of Business Development Services of AHK Vietnam. So, sit back, relax, and join us for this informative and engaging episode.

The talk show is part of AHK Vietnam’s campaign to celebrate 10 years of our Vocational Education and Training (VET) project in Vietnam since 2013. Learn more about us here: https://vietnam.ahk.de/en/training-job/dual-vocational-training
