Opportunities for the young and graduates employability in Vietnam

The Voyage project has set up a web platform, active for an online students and companies registration. Set up in the Vietnamese beneficiaries universities, the platform collects, in a unique database graduates and future graduates data, namely educational experience’ assessment questionnaire data and Certified CVs. The platform has two main scopes: enhancing employability of graduates and strengthening the efficiency of the HE system for curricula reforms in line with labour market needs. The Voyage platform, developed on the graduates DB and conceived to easily integrate new Vietnamese universities, allows enterprises to search for Vietnamese graduates according to specific skill needs, while giving the graduates a comprehensive and democratic access to labour market. Platform data have been exploited to release the first Vietnamese Graduates Profile Surveys: an analysis of beneficiary universities graduates and graduates’ features and performance, including evaluation of university experience, family background and future intentions and perspectives. Guidelines for platform management, deployment and data use as well as a Training Compendium summarizing main training contents have been realized. In the framework of the project the Monitoring enterprises skill needs’ report and the Best Practices for Internship Promotion’ report in Vietnam have been developed. The first report provides feedback on skill needs required by Vietnamese companies as well as on the state of art of Universities-Enterprises cooperation in the country; the second report collects Vietnamese and European best practices for internships promotion. Beneficiaries' universities have agreed to the project sustainability plan detailing the platform configuration in Vietnam, tasks and functions assigned to Consortium members for the release of the main project's outcomes in the future.
