Opportunities for the young and graduates employability in Vietnam
Start date: Oct 15, 2015, End date: Oct 14, 2018 PROJECT  FINISHED 

In Vietnam, the education system has seen important development in the last 10 years with the number of schools doubled and an increase state expenditure (World Bank, 2014). As regard to higher education (HE) the number of graduates grew markedly (Vietnam Statistics Office, 2014). Yet, graduates are facing the dual problem of increasing youth unemployment and a mismatch between graduates’ skills and employers’ requirement often ascribed to the poor quality of education (ICEF, 2014,). The creation of modern and sustainable tools based on the provision of updated information for the enhancement of university-enterprises partnership, is highly needed. The project, thus, will support Vietnamese Universities in identifying instruments and methodologies to improve the effectiveness of education system through the implementation, at local level, of a graduates database system that, following the AL model in Italy, pursue two main goals: provide an efficient tool to Universities and Government for the monitoring of long lasting impact of HE on society and improving educational supply accordingly; supporting employability and collaboration between education and business sector. The system (online platform developed on the graduates DB) will allow enterprises to search for graduates to employ according to specific skill needs, giving the graduates a comprehensive and democratic access to labour market. The graduates data platform will enhance the linkage between education and socio-economic partners, the reform of curricula in line with labour market needs, the enhancement of the whole HE system’ efficiency, the production of documentary evidence (the first graduates’ profile survey in the beneficiaries universities) for decision making and policy. The project is expecting to have a long term impact of the whole socio-economic system and society envisaging as beneficiaries: the young and the graduates, the universities and decision makers, the Vietnamese business community.
