About this grant

U.S. Mission Vietnam's Public Diplomacy Section seeks proposals to implement workforce development and innovation programs through American Spaces. This program builds a pipeline of skilled, English-capable Vietnamese youth who support U.S. trade, investment, and innovation partnerships while expanding economic opportunity in Vietnam. The project targets university students, educators, and early-career professionals (ages 18–40) in Hanoi, Thai Nguyen, Ho Chi Minh City and An Giang. Activities strengthen English proficiency and technology skills in artificial intelligence, coding, cybersecurity, and entrepreneurship. This program showcases American excellence in science, technology, and innovation -demonstrating how U.S. technological leadership and educational institutions create opportunity and drive progress. By connecting participants to U.S. networks, the program expands opportunities for American businesses, strengthens commercial ties, and reinforce U.S. strategic cooperation in Vietnam. Success includes stronger public-private partnerships, expanded participation in U.S. exchanges, improved English proficiency, and greater recognition of U.S. technological leadership among Vietnamese audiences.
