As part of the Australia-Southeast Asia Trade Links Program (A-SEABX), an initiative of the Australian Government, a delegation of Australian education leaders visited Vietnam from September 25-27.
The delegation, led by Ms. Rebecca Ball, Senior Trade Commissioner of Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade), comprised leaders, professors, and industry experts from 17 top universities and training institutions, as well as representatives from four Australian states and territories.
During their visit, the delegation attended the Education Partnership and Investment Conference hosted by the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) in Hai Phong city, where they gained insights into the latest transnational education policies and practices. They also visited the DEEP C Industrial Zones in the city, interacting with state-owned enterprises and industry leaders to understand Vietnam’s progress in transitioning to a green economy.
Through this visit, 150 representatives from Vietnam’s higher education institutions, vocational training centers, associations, and key sector businesses (including agriculture, energy, and manufacturing) had the opportunity to explore and exchange information about Australia’s strengths in green training and research. The Vietnamese companies also learned about various innovative and viable cooperation models that align with industry needs as Vietnam progresses towards a green economy.
Ms. Rebecca Ball highlighted the significance of Australia’s expertise in green technologies, sustainable practices, and clean energy solutions in supporting Vietnam’s workforce development and green transition, especially as the country aims for net-zero emissions by 2050.
“Our institutions, globally recognized for their sustainability programs, are committed to contributing to Vietnam’s decarbonization journey and future economic growth,” she added.
Vietnam is currently focused on achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, involving greenhouse gas reduction, increased renewable energy usage, and sustainable urban development. This transition is projected to create nearly 1 million new jobs by 2040, requiring Vietnam to enhance the skills of its workforce to meet the demands of new and existing sectors.
