A number of in-person and online classes on AI and digital transformation have been organized for young people across the country, including those with disabilities. AI experts and renowned digital content creators have shared the most basic, practical, and easily applicable knowledge.

Doan Ngoc Chien from Ha Tinh province has a mobility disability and relies on a wheelchair for transportation. He has not missed a single session.

Chien told VOV that he has noticed digital business is growing rapidly, especially on platforms like TikTok, so his goal is to use AI technology to create contents and videos for his petshop.

When he learned that the Vietnam Association of Disabled Youth was organizing the digital literacy movement for people with disabilities, he immediately signed up.

“The class provides us greater access to AI technology, so we can find suitable jobs and become more self-reliant. I hope that after the class, I’ll be able to produce videos on my own, without relying on others," said Chien.

In addition to running a pet shop, Chien also works as communication staff at the Vietnam Center for Vocational Education and Capacity Development for People with Disabilities.

During the training sessions, Chien learned about the Copilot app which can support his daily work such as data analysis and content creation. He also learned essential skills to use AI tools to draft documents and reports quickly, and realize creative ideas.

“I’m in charge of publishing media content, compiling projects to call for sponsorship, and developing growth plans. Attending the class, I have learned more about digital technology which allows me to explore my own capabilities and apply AI tools like Copilot to my work, whether for planning tasks, creating promotional content, or generating ideas," Chien noted.

Experts predict that within the next few years, many current jobs will have been replaced by technology. It’s time for young people with disabilities to improve their digital knowledge for future career orientation, developing their own startup, doing online business, and social engagement.

The "Digital Literacy Movement" has brought together top experts of AI, Blockchain, cybersecurity, digital content creation, commentary, graphic design, and programming.

Pham Van Thanh, President of the Vietnam Association of Disabled Youth, said that in-person and online classes will be organized in three months.

“We have collaborated with various platforms where participants can register to learn how to use AI effectively. We also provide them access to an anti-fraud platform that continuously updates information on cybersecurity and data protection,” said Thanh, adding, “Combined with hands-on training sessions, these efforts aim to make the Digital Literacy Movement for Vietnamese youth with disabilities truly impactful."

Le Cong Thanh, founder of the “AI Literacy for all”project, shared his insights that everyone should learn to use artificial intelligence at varying levels, whether for work, study, or daily activities.

“For example, AI can assist in analyzing the nutritional content of a meal. This is why mastering AI tools is such an essential skill. However, AI is still relatively new, and many people have yet to actively experience it. My goal is to spread AI knowledge not only to people with disabilities but to as many individuals as possible," said Thanh.

Digital transformation is rapidly expanding to all sectors, creating opportunities for people with disabilities to adapt to and integrate into society, and gain greater equality.
