Openasia Group - Empowering the Young Generation in 2024

Driven by a commitment to human-centric sustainable development and a dedication to investing in the next generation, Openasia believes that cultivating passion and creativity among students since their university years will empower them to become exceptional individuals across all aspects. Beyond offering career and internship opportunities, Openasia is committed to fostering an environment where young talents can achieve holistic development, encompassing professional expertise, career, and lifestyle.  

Throughout 2024, Openasia further reinforced this commitment by forging deep and diverse partnerships with top-tier universities both in Vietnam and internationally, including British University Vietnam (BUV), RMIT Vietnam, VinUniversity, the Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam (DAV), the Centre Franco-Vietnamien de Formation à la Gestion (CFVG), and the National Economics University (NEU). These collaborations have been implemented in a wide range of activities, from strategic partnerships in student competitions and active participation in career fairs, to expert-led sessions as guest speakers on topics such as event management, digital transformation, and human resources management. Openasia also co-hosted numerous site visits to the corporate offices and the subsidiaries, providing students with valuable insights into business operations and practices within the luxury fashion, fine dining, and traditional arts sectors.

At the ceremony, Prof. Dr. Dinh Duc Truong expressed his gratitude to Openasia Group, the main sponsor, for the continuous support to the faculty over the past 6 years. 

Through partnerships with universities, Openasia has gone beyond offering diverse employment and internship opportunities, aspiring to inspire and cultivate a thriving community of young talents where students are empowered to share their passions, and knowledge, and nurture their aspirations for personal and professional ambitions. 

The success of our collaborative programs in 2024 stands as a powerful demonstration of Openasia's core value – placing people at the heart of all sustainable development efforts.
