OOOLAB highlights urgent need for upskilling

A McKinsey & Company report estimates that up to 800 million jobs globally could be lost to automation by 2030, with another 375 million needing to change occupations entirely.

Vietnam, with its rapidly growing economy and young, tech-savvy population, is well-positioned to benefit from AI. However, the country, like many others, must also prepare its workforce for the potential disruptions that come with this technological transformation.

Actively addressing this challenge, OOOLAB, a top Vietnamese educational technology company, is providing businesses with unique learning and training software.

Specialising in enterprise-grade Learning Management Systems (LMS), they are rolling out a unique platform nationwide that is flexible enough to power any type of in-house and online training while also providing e-learning for self-study.

The goal is to give Vietnamese workers the chance to develop the skills they need to thrive in an AI-driven future.

While the impact of AI on employment has been felt globally, Vietnam presents a unique case. The country boasts a significant manufacturing sector, employing millions of workers in areas like garments and textiles, electronics assembly, and footwear manufacturing – sectors historically susceptible to automation.

Unfortunately, a collaborative study by the World Bank and the Vietnamese government estimated that up to 1.3 million jobs in Vietnam could be vulnerable to automation by 2030, primarily in manufacturing and agriculture.

This potential displacement highlights the urgent need for proactive upskilling initiatives in Vietnam, a challenge that OOOLAB is responding to.

“We believe that continuous learning and upskilling are not just individual and national imperatives, but a global necessity in the AI age,” said Cedric Le Ǫuellec, co-founder and CEO of OOOLAB.

While OOOLAB has emphasised the importance of preparing Vietnamese workforces with versatile learning technology, the company's vision extends beyond national borders.

“Our platform LearningOS is designed to empower Vietnamese workforces through upskilling. At its core, our Enterprise LMS has been designed with global best practices for learning in mind. The flexibility and adaptability of our system effectively meets upskilling challenges for learners of all backgrounds, at any location,” said Cedric.

Living up to expectations, LearningOS is currently being used in over 20 countries.

OOOLAB offers customised training content for a wide range of industries. Their courses aim to equip workforces with the technical and soft skills they need to drive growth. Their sales training course has been their most popular programme, projected to train over 700,000 employees by year's end.

Mastering effective sales techniques is essential for success with both local and international clients. OOOLAB's sales training programmes provide learners with 'business-to-business' and 'business-to-consumer' tools to excel in this dynamic environment, where promoting human interactions remains paramount.

Having recently developed a foundational AI literacy course for hundreds of nurses and doctors in Vietnam, OOOLAB is tailoring AI courses for various industries.

These courses simplify complex AI concepts, give practical applications, and teach businesses how to leverage AI tools effectively, regardless of their position, or level of expertise.

This year marks a specific milestone for OOOLAB as they begin to develop specialised courses on semiconductor manufacturing and its innovative applications.

Acknowledging the critical role of semiconductors in the future, these courses cater to professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of a vital technology, both in Vietnam and internationally.

In addition to delivering high-quality accessible training, they make sure soft skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and learning agility are integrated into their courses. They develop content that helps teams work on their overall communication, collaboration, and leadership abilities.

Continuous learning and upskilling are vital for growth, and OOOLAB’s in-house instructional design team can develop custom interactive training content for firms in need of it.

OOOLAB is proud to be part of a growing ecosystem of organisations in Vietnam and Asia focused on upskilling initiatives and navigating the AI world.

Their vision is to positively impact one million learners globally by empowering businesses with the tools and resources needed for sustainable growth.

As a recent SME100 Award winner for fast-moving companies in Asia, they are pursuing global expansion and actively collaborating with innovative Vietnamese businesses to upskill workforces, inviting further international partnerships for shared success
