The Youth Invest Story


Youth Invest was set up to fill a void seen by educators, human resource professionals and leaders of enterprises.

On one side students are seeking globally usable knowledge and abilities including language and soft skills. While some students acquire academic knowledge they are also unable to identify their careers early and match the demands and attitude of modern enterprises.

Meanwhile enterprises are seeking a young knowledgeable workforce, but many of the available talent do not meet their requirement. This mis-match can generate unemployment. With the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement bringing greater openness and competition, Vietnam has to develop and hones its human capital meet the upcoming challenge.

Educators, leaders of enterprises and Human Resources experts wished to form an organization which would serve as a bridge between the supply and demand, and between training and utilizing the workforce.

YouthInvest is also a platform where experts have a chance to share their experience and nurture, invest and develop a young workforce equipped with intimate knowledge, practical working skills and especially a right attitude in order to become potential young leaders who will take Vietnam forward.

With its dedication, the Youth Invest, featuring a panel of local and global educational experts, leaders of enterprises, Chief Financial Officers, Human Resources experts from Vietnam  have cooperated in launching pioneering and projects in Vietnam through investing on kids, teen-agers and college students.

Also providing consulting for educational institutions to develop their students through career orientation and development programs.
