Publisher John Wiley and Sons Inc. has announced a partnership with Arizona State University (ASU) to provide higher education institutions funding, leadership training materials and publishing workshops in order to develop engineering and science capacity in Vietnam. The agreement complements ASU's BUILD-IT Project, sponsored by the US Agency for International Development (USAID), which brings together government, industry and academic partners with the shared goal of providing high-quality programs that link together science, technology engineering and math (STEM) disciplines.
With 80% of the 54 million workers in Vietnam not having appropriate skills to participate in the digital economy, this agreement will strengthen the programs available within Vietnam institutions and provide additional opportunities for students to better compete in the current and future workforce. The agreement aligns closely with the Vietnam government's Industrial Revolution 4.0 initiative to develop skills that will be crucial to ensure Vietnam's sustained growth and competitiveness. Industrial Revolution 4.0 targets major innovations in digital technology, all coming to maturity right now and poised to transform the shape of regional and global economy.
BUILD-IT brings together government, industry and academic partners with the shared goal of providing high quality programs that link together the STEM subjects of science, technology engineering and math. BUILD-IT seeks to strengthen higher education policy toward autonomy in Vietnam to ensure world-class governance; to open opportunities for professional development, innovation and STEM mentorships through university and private sector collaboration; and to develop the highest standard of educational programs, training and accreditation that improve academic outcomes.
