[VinUni Event] “Reimage Gifted and Talented Education – Re*Gate” Summit
Event date:
Talent has always played a key role in the prosperity and future of each country. In Vietnam, the development of the system of gifted and quality high schools, talent programs at university level as well as enterprise-sponsored talent scholarship programs have proven the great social interest in talent. Meanwhile, Vietnam has a modest ranking in the Global Talent Competitiveness Index. The level of response of talented bachelors to the recruitment needs of reputable companies as well as of high school graduates to the enrollment needs of excellent universities is still limited.
Therefore, VinUniversity has the greatest honor to invite you to attend the Reimagine Gifted and Talented Education – RE*GATE Summit.
