The V2WORK consortium is happy to announce the creation of a new network created to further develop the close cooperation between V2WORK project partners, and to extend its positive impact to other Vietnamese Higher Education Institutions (HEIs): the Vietnam Employability and Entrepreneurship Support Network or VEES-Net.

It was designed during the Sustainable Network Workshop at the University of Danang in July, with work going towards its creation continuing online since then. With its vision and mission defined, the governance structures and membership policies established, a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) establishing the creation of the network has been drafted and approved by the project steering committee, quality board and the university representatives.

VEES - NET has a vision to be a sustainable network of Vietnamese HEIs to support career services with a view to promoting greater employability and developing a spirit and culture of entrepreneurship among HEIs. Its mission is to increase the employability and the entrepreneurship efforts of HEI students and graduates, enabling higher levels of success and professional achievement, and to promote the development and affirmation of HEI career services as an essential structure and of the greatest importance in fulfilling the institution's mission (University) to train and qualify young people for qualified professional activities that generate social and economic development.

VEES-Net will be officially presented to the public and launched with an MoA signing ceremony at Hanoi University of Science and Technology on October 29th, 2020. It will count as found members the 8 V2WORK universities in Vietnam (Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Vinh Industrial University, The University of Danang, Tay Nguyen University, Nha Trang University, Thu Dau Mot University Ho Chi Minh University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Tra Vinh University), with the support of the Ministry of Education and Training Vietnam, the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and student association AIESEC Vietnam. VEES-Net will be open to new members, and it is hoped that several of the universities invited to the ceremony will join.
