With the target of having one million digital transformation personnel by 2035, FPT desperately needs high-quality human resources from leading universities in Vietnam and around the world. To this end, FPT wishes to cooperate with prestigious and long-standing quality universities of which the University of Greenwich is a typical example, he said.
Talking about this cooperation, Jane Harrington, Vice Chancellor of the University of Greenwich, said that in its strategy for 2030, the university has set forth three core priorities, namely the success of students, scientific research, cooperation and knowledge exchange.
According to her, student success is an important foundation for long-term sustainability and the goal of building a better society.
They aim to provide a comprehensive educational experience that combines practice-based learning, enhanced technology, and tailored work opportunities for students, she said, adding that by strengthening cooperation with major global partners, including FPT Corporation, they will fulfill all these goals.
The cooperation has expanded FPT Corporation's human resource training activities around the world.

Many Greenwich alumni hold important positions at FPT's member companies or are actively contributing to the expansion of the corporation.
According to Nguyen Phuong Hoang, who was a senior manager at FPT's member companies, what he appreciates most during nearly 20 years of working for the corporation is that it offers opportunities for them to develop.
FPT's rapid development creates an opportunity for everyone, including those who have ambitions and abilities to express themselves and there seems to be no barriers to their creativity, said Hoang, who is currently Deputy General Director of the Sen Do Technology Joint Stock Company./.
