INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY

As a federal enterprise, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH supports the German Government in achieving its objectives in the field of international cooperation for sustainable development. We work in a variety of fields and support our cooperation partners in designing strategies and meeting their policy goals. GIZ Viet Nam is currently engaged in four priority areas: 1) Vocational training; 2) Environmental policy and sustainable natural resource use; 3) Energy; 4) Sustainable Economic Development. Gender equality is one of the key values of our company and of the work we do. Fostering gender equality in our project operation and our internal equal opportunity provisions are two strategic pillars of our corporate identity and policy.

The joint Vietnamese-German technical cooperation programme “Reform of Technical Vocational Education and Training in Viet Nam III” (TVET Programme) aims at the Vietnamese TVET system being increasingly oriented towards supporting a socially just, green, and digital transformation of the economy (“Just Twin Transition”). It is funded by the German Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) with counterpart funds from the Vietnamese Government. The implementing agencies are the GIZ and the Directorate of Vocational Education and Training (DVET) under the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MoLISA). In order to reach the project’s objective, four main outputs have to be achieved:

• Output 1: TVET stakeholders on macro level are increasingly advising on the alignment of the TVET system with the socially just, digital, and green transformation (twin transition).
• Output 2: The TVET network is empowered to offer cooperative initial and further training for the socially just, green, and digital transformation (twin transition).
• Output 3: TVET institutions have planning and exchange tools for implementing the socially just, green, and digital transformation of the TVET system.
• Output 4: The technical and conceptual prerequisites of TVET for a climate-relevant sector are established for successful development-oriented skilled labour migration.

Thereby, the TVET Programme contributes to the improvement of the supply of demand-oriented qualified workforce in Viet Nam. In the upcoming time,  the TVET Programme is seeking an internship opportunity to support the project with the following conditions:
