Event Details

The BBGV will be holding an education panel lunch on Friday 17^th February at the Caravelle Hotel from 12 noon to 2pm as below:

 The current burden carried by business of training graduates before they can contribute; why is this a problem?  A commonly held view is Vietnam’s graduates posses less knowledge and understanding of the work-place, compared to graduates from overseas institutions.  The BBGV luncheon brings together a panel of senior figures in the tertiary education sector, namely Dr. Le Thi Kim Thoa, Head of Economic Geography & Regional Development at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities (with academic experience across Vietnam, India and the UK) and Director of the Centre for Ocean & Island Studies, along with Professor Merilyn Liddell President of RMIT and Jack Howell, CEO of Prudential Assurance Private Ltd.  Panel members will make short presentations before engaging the luncheon participants to review and explore how to ensure universities and business “hold hands” and efficiently bring the very large numbers of graduates from Vietnamese institutions into the work place.

Luncheon price is 850,000VND for members and co-hosts, and 1,050,000 VND for non members.  To book your place please contact Tran on officemanager@bbgv.org or Jakki on execdirector@bbgv.org
