This next phase of support, valued up to 10 million USD and commenced in 2021, will see this successful model extended over four years until 2025.
The program is designed to help Vietnam upskill its workforce – a crucial ingredient for Vietnam to meet its ambitious 2045 target of becoming a high-income country.
This work will focus on the logistics sector. Logistics is a priority for Vietnam as it is expected to contribute 8-10% of GDP by 2025. It is also a sector Australia has considerable experience in.
