Free online courses to improve SMEs' administration capacity

Some 1.5 million small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and 6,000 workers nationwide will get access to free and high-quality online courses designed to improve their skills, knowledge and administration capacity from 2025 to 2035, under a training project of the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI).

Under the project, 500 online courses will be held in 2025, which will increase to 6,000 by 2035.

The MPI has recently signed an agreement with the Vietnam Association of Small- and Medium-Sized Enterprises (VINASME) to co-host the project with the aim of supporting enterprises during their development process.

The courses will be designed basing on six development steps of enterprises, including business idea, enterprise establishment, operation, growth, stability and Initial Public Offering (IPO).

Addressing the signing ceremony, Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment Tran Duy Dong said the project is expected to gradually improve administration skills and capacity for enterprises towards international standards as well as boost quality of human resources.
