Why VietAbroader Career Conference (VACC) 2014?

Demand•More international companies are entering the Vietnamese market, with an increasing amount of foreign investment (Vietnam’s FDI inflow was $22.35 billion in 2013, 35.9% higher than that in 2012).

•These multi-national corporations, together with home-grown enterprises, are creating a great need for a more dynamic and skilled labor force (63% of Vietnamese college graduates do not meet standards of corporations- CafeBiz.vn).

Supply•More and more young local Vietnamese people are attending higher education: nearly 2.2 million in 2013 (increase from 1.7 million in 2009), creating a greater supply of skilled labor in Vietnam.

•Many overseas Vietnamese, Vietnamese Americans, and foreigners are interested in learning more about career opportunities in Vietnam (40% of Vietnamese students go back from abroad to work in Vietnam- Dan Tri News).

Currently there is a mismatch between the demand and supply of skilled labor in Vietnam. Unemployment rate among young people in Viet Nam is estimated at 5.95%, much lower than the global youth unemployment rate of 13.1%, but still more than 3 times the adult rate (ILO, Global Unemployment Trends 2014).

VACC will bridge the current gap between the demand and supply of

skilled labor in Vietnam

VietAbroader’s Mission is to empower Vietnamese youth and motivate them to contribute to Vietnam’s development by assisting them with pursuit of an education abroad and attracting diverse talent to Vietnam’s fast growing economy.
