A commitment beyond our advisory work.
Mekong Partners supports Vietnamese education through collaboration with the ministry and memoranda of understanding (MoUs) with several universities, including the University of Management and Technology Ho Chi Minh City (UMT).
Our approach brings a business perspective to educational dialogue: what employers need, how skills are applied in practice and how students can prepare for a changing professional environment.
