The Comprehensive Partnership Agreement between Vietnam and Denmark that was signed in 2013 gives a clear priority to a closer cooperation on a large number of areas, including education.
“Vietnam's future economic growth is closely linked to the ability to provide job candidates that meet the increasing demands from the companies. Danish educational institutions have strong traditions and competencies to provide international education and learning of unique and high standards. The education programme between Niels Brock Copenhagen Business College and Foreign Trade University is an excellent example of this and an important initiative. The programme provides the students with a wide range of international skills and competencies that meet and supports the future demands of the companies here in Vietnam.” said Danish Minister for Trade and Development Cooperation - Mr. Mogens Jensen in his speech.
At the job fair more than 60 students were given the opportunity to meet and speed date Danish companies based in Vietnam and their local business partners looking for qualified candidates.
“We are providing the students with an American certified degree, but our way of teaching is firmly rooted in the Danish and Scandinavian way of teaching, which means putting a lot of emphasis on the students themselves. This is what sets our program apart from most other international programs being offered in Vietnam. With this job fair and the successful job fair last year, we want to strengthen our commitment to provide opportunities for both students and the companies as a contribution to the growth of Vietnam.” said President of Niels Brock Business College - Ms. Anya Eskildsen.
Foreign Trade University Former President, Prof. Dr. Hoang Van Chau highly appreciated the quality of the program and the outcome of FTU’s partnership with Niels Brock “I hope the visit of Danish Minister of Trade and Development Cooperation, and the program between FTU and Niels Brock are setting the foundation and example for more educational projects in the future which will benefit both young and talented Vietnamese students and companies looking for high quality staffs.”
