The world of work is changing rapidly and requires vocational and higher education to provide new kind of competences. Empowering Vietnamese VET Teachers for Transformation towards Education 4.0 (EMVITET) is a capacity building project which thrives to create inspiring student-centered and competence-based education in close connection with the work life. Häme University of Applied Sciences (HAMK) is partnering with European universities and Vietnamese vocational and higher education institutions to bring together educational experts and contextual understanding for developing vocational and higher education in Vietnam.

EMVITET aims to create new learning ecosystem for education in Vietnam, based on student-centered learning, competence-based education, collaboration and networking in digital environments as well as sharing knowledge through communities of practice.

In EMVITET project, the participants will develop their competencies in the following areas:

• Pedagogy: Designing and implementing competence-based and student-centred learning to match the needs of industry 4.0
