There is a paradox that has been going on for many years in Vietnam: the number of graduates with jobs is very low – even students from prestigious universities. On the other hand, domestic and foreign corporations and companies always complain about the lack of human resources.

1. Student’s employment situation

The Vietnam Labour Market Update Newsletter (published by Ministry of Labour – Invalids and Social Affairs in collaboration with the General Statistics Office of Vietnam) said that: In the third quarter of 2017, the number of unemployed people with university or higher degrees was 237,000 people, an increase of 53,900 people compared to the second quarter of 2017. That is the data before the year of Covid.  The Corona pandemic has pushed a series of businesses, companies to go bankrupt or wait for dissolution. The narrow door to get a job is getting tougher and tougher. Reality has proven: A university degree is just a “ticket” for you to have the opportunity to fall into the “target” of increasingly demanding employers, but to “be selected” is another matter.

2. IRDM Institute’s Mission

Every individual is unique and has their own special ability. So the mission of the Institute for Research & Development of Vietnam’s Manpower (IRDM) is “Supporting Vietnamese human resources in Industrial 4.0 revolution”; eliciting, fostering and orienting on the basis what people already have; developing their skills to become professional to meet all employer’s demands in the 4.0 era.
