Vietnam is one of the fastest growing economies in Southeast Asia . It is also home to a large pool of talent that is looking for new opportunities both at home and abroad. The labor force in the densely populated country is growing by about 1.5 million people every year. Since the last few years, Vietnam has been working to create jobs to meet the challenge of an ever-increasing labor force. New reforms are underway to modernize the economy and build competitive export-driven industries.

Vietnam has a very high literacy rate of over 90 percent with Vietnamese as the official language and English being increasingly favored as a second language. Many Vietnamese also know major global languages such as French, Russian and Chinese.

Vietnam is conveniently located with a long coastline of about 3,444 km. It shares land boundaries with three important economies in the region – Cambodia , China and Laos , which provides easy access for trade and business.
