It aims to improve skills and employment opportunities for the youth and women in the field of green electricity, and establish a platform that can connect the industry’s demand with certified technicians.

In particular, the project will equip the schools with green power or automation laboratories. The colleges will provide market-oriented training courses on green electricians and Industry 4.0. Their lecturers will also receive training from foreign experts.

With a total budget of 30,000 EUR (over 32,000 USD), the project is implemented by Schneider Electric of France, a multinational company specializing in green energy and automation solutions, through ASSIST Vietnam. The Schneider Foundation pledged to supply equipment worth 20,000 EUR, and the remaining 10,000 EUR will be covered by the local schools.

According to the Can Tho Union of Friendship Organizations, the project marks a collaborative effort to train excellent human resources for Vietnam's labor market. This initiative is seen as a good start for broader and deeper cooperation opportunities among the parties in the future.
