The program
Aus4Skills Phase 3 is a ten-year program funded by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) which works in partnership with Government of Vietnam (GoV) to strengthen Vietnam-Australia relationships by supporting Vietnam’s human resources development ambitions and priorities. Building on previous phases, Aus4Skills Phase 3 aims to enable Vietnam to realise its human resource development goals in agreed sectors, promoting a stable, secure and prosperous Vietnam.
Aus4Skills Phase 3 seeks to achieve the following three End-of-Program Outcomes:
- Australia Awards’ alumni leverage their skills, knowledge and networks to contribute to bilateral development priorities and stronger relations between Australia and Vietnam
- Vietnam and Australia have a strengthened strategic partnership for public sector governance that fosters increased leadership capability and networks, advances women in leadership, and promotes inclusive green growth and institutional innovation.
- Vietnam strengthens delivery of inclusive, climate-adaptive, industry-informed vocational education and training (VET) in key sectors, ensuring that workforce development meets industry demands and promotes social equity.
