We anticipate that the partnership will help the future workforce to prepare for the upcoming waves of digital transformation in the sectors that are most affected.”

Dr Nguyen Tien Dung, rector of University of Economics and Law, commented: “We believe that the partnership with PwC Vietnam will benefit UEL’s operations in line with our mission to enrich students’ practical know-how and help them secure the best job offers by expanding our corporate relations with top firms.”
