The program is specially designed to reduce the financial burden, provide career orientations and enhance soft skills for local students, with the aim to develop a highly-skilled workforce for Vietnam's energy sector.

On behalf of the plant, Mr. Johnny Tanis, Plant Manager, said, “We are very pleased to welcome the students and lecturers to the Mong Duong 2 Thermal Power Plant. Developing human resources from the local workforce is one of the key goals that we are pursuing in Vietnam. I hope that this visit further motivates students to study and gives them insight and inspiration for their future career path in the energy industry.”
