V2WORK – “Strengthening the Vietnamese Higher Education System to improve graduates’ employability and entrepreneurship skills” – is a three year Erasmus+ Capacity Building structural project co-financed by the European Commission whose aim is to strengthen the capacities of the Vietnamese HE System to improve the employability & entrepreneurship skills of its graduates, and to reinforce its relationships with the labour market, in line with the Vietnamese government’s priority of improving graduate employment at a national level.

V2WORK specifically aims to
