With Vietnam’s digital economy growing by over 20% annually in 2025, the country’s tech landscape is creating unprecedented opportunities for aspiring professionals. Employers are actively seeking graduates who can transition seamlessly from academic training to contributing to real-world digital workplace transformations.
Organisations are seeking talent who can contribute from day one — bringing not just technical capability but the professionalism, adaptability, and problem‑solving mindset needed in modern workplaces. This makes the development of a robust, future-ready talent pipeline a national imperative.
To bridge this gap, MaivenPoint Academy is launching the Ho Chi Minh City Tech Talent Training Programme: an immersive, industry-aligned initiative designed to equip emerging professionals with the practical skills, mentorship, and hands-on experience modern workplaces require.
As the flagship step in MaivenPoint Academy’s broader talent development roadmap, this programme sets the foundation for expanding tech training opportunities across Vietnam.
Building a Stronger Pipeline of Industry‑Ready Tech Talent
Supporting the needs of the current organisational landscape, the MaivenPoint Academy Tech Talent Training Programme nurtures early-career professionals who understand how technology is applied within real organisational contexts. Through structured, industry-informed learning, the programme helps strengthen the local talent ecosystem by preparing participants to navigate collaborative work, adopt emerging tools, and operate with the confidence required in fast-evolving digital environments.
By expanding into Ho Chi Minh City, MaivenPoint Academy is intentionally positioning the programme at the heart of Vietnam’s growing tech hub and laying the groundwork for a scalable model that can support talent development nationwide.
Inside the Tech Talent Programme: Immersive Project-Based Learning
Delivered entirely in person over three months, the Ho Chi Minh City programme is structured as an intensive, cohort‑based journey. Trainees progress through a clear rhythm of instructor‑led sessions paired with hands‑on assignments, ensuring every concept is immediately put into practice.
Trainees will experience learning through a blended format — via self-paced learning on MaivenPoint’s educational technology platform, as well as onsite at AvePoint’s Ho Chi Minh City office, reinforcing workplace exposure from day one.
Learning is organised around real enterprise use cases, not hypothetical exercises. Participants work through workflows and scenarios drawn from industry environments — mirroring how teams operate, how problems are framed, and how solutions are delivered in practice. The programme’s project-based learning uses simulated scenarios inspired by common challenges in various business sectors, broadening learners’ context and problem-solving range. This approach builds familiarity with the pace, collaboration patterns, and delivery expectations typical of modern tech organisations.
Across the three months, the emphasis is consistent: do, apply, and refine. Trainees tackle practical tasks, receive targeted guidance, and iterate based on outcomes — building technical fluency alongside the operational discipline needed to contribute within a professional setting from day one.
Skills That Matter: Preparing Talent for AI-Driven Workspaces
As AI continues to make waves at an unprecedented speed, the ability to adapt, evaluate, and apply new technologies has become just as important as technical proficiency. In Vietnam, many organisations have made AI a critical component of their workflows: 73% are already leveraging AI, and 65% plan to increase their AI budgets.
The Tech Talent Programme is intentionally designed around these realities, giving trainees exposure to evolving technologies and guiding them to think critically about how solutions are built, deployed, and improved in modern environments.
Rather than training for a fixed set of tools, trainees learn how to learn through a continuous process of building the foundational thinking for relevant technology shifts. The programme works through scenarios that mirror how digital teams operate, applying problem‑solving frameworks, navigating ambiguity, and iterating based on real‑world constraints. Trainees also gain vital business communication skills that help them effectively articulate solutions, align with stakeholders, and contribute effectively across functions.
By the end of the programme, participants are equipped not only with stronger technical fluency, but with the agility and forward‑looking mindset required to excel in workplaces shaped increasingly by AI and rapid digital change.
Hands-On Skill Development for Trainees
A defining feature of the Tech Talent Training Programme is its emphasis on applied learning. Throughout the programme, trainees take on practical work that reflects the day‑to‑day realities of modern tech teams. This includes enterprise‑inspired simulation projects, where participants analyse requirements, prototype solutions, and contribute to tasks that mirror actual product cycles and service delivery environments.
Trainees gain valuable experience with industry-relevant tools and workflows, building their confidence in systems and processes commonly used across tech organisations. Much of the programme is founded on collaboration, enabling participants to practise effective communication of their ideas, timely task coordination, and alignment with team expectations — skills that are just as vital as technical capability.
Mentorship and Career Coaching
Mentorship is woven into every stage of the program. Trainees not only act as facilitators but also serve as mentors from day one, providing technical guidance while also helping participants build professional habits expected in a fast-paced workplace. Mentors offer consistent support as trainees navigate challenges, refine their problem-solving approaches, and build confidence in their growing skill sets.
Career coaching that empowers learners is equally central. The programme enables two-way communication, where trainees are active participants in their learning. Regular feedback loops ensure participants understand their strengths and development areas, helping them mature both technically and professionally.
Senior leaders from AvePoint and MaivenPoint play an active role as well, engaging learners through sharing sessions and industry discussions. Their real-world perspectives give trainees a clearer understanding of how technology decisions are made, how modern teams operate, and what it takes to succeed long-term in a global tech environment.
Ensuring Job Placement: How Trainees Are Assessed
Job placement is the ultimate goal of learning. At MaivenPoint Academy’s Tech Talent Programme, job placement is guaranteed because workplace readiness is evaluated continuously and from multiple angles — not just at the end. Trainees are assessed through practical assignments and hands‑on projects, with trainers evaluating both technical competence and professional readiness throughout the programme. A final readiness check is aligned to partner hiring requirements to ensure graduates meet workplace expectations before placement.
Assessment is designed around a 70 – 20 – 10 learning model that makes evaluation authentic and holistic:
- 70% on‑the‑job experience. Performance is observed in mentorship‑guided project assignments, where trainees demonstrate applied skills, accountability, and delivery discipline in conditions that mirror real work.
- 20% social learning. Peer learning, workshops, and bootcamps provide observable collaboration and communication behaviors; feedback from these settings contributes to readiness signals.
- 10% formal learning. A structured, hybrid, subjective assessment captures conceptual mastery, systems thinking, and the ability to justify solution choices — complementing the performance‑based evaluations above.
The Roadmap to Hanoi: What’s Next for MaivenPoint Academy in Vietnam
The MaivenPoint Tech Talent Programme closes the gap between learning and meaningful work by pairing immersive training with real enterprise context, mentorship, and rigorous assessment to produce job‑ready talent.
Following the launch in Ho Chi Minh City, the next key expansion point in MaivenPoint Academy’s talent development roadmap is Hanoi.
The planned Hanoi programme will target university graduates and early‑career professionals in Northern Vietnam, with enrolment to be scaled progressively as partner pipelines mature.
Ho Chi Minh is the beginning of this journey: a vital step in establishing a scalable model that grows with partner demand and Vietnam’s digital ambitions. With Hanoi as the next step in a clear path that takes trainees from learning to employment, the programme doesn’t just prepare graduates for their first role but also equips them to lead the next wave of AI-driven innovation.
The next generation isn’t waiting; it’s being built here.
