A national programme to train and upskill 10,000 chief executives and business managers from the private sector by 2030 to strengthen corporate leadership and support economic growth has been approved.

Under Decision No. 525/QĐ-TTg signed by Deputy Prime Minister Nguyễn Chí Dũng on March 31, the programme aims to build a pool of executives with modern management capabilities, strategic thinking and strong ethical standards, capable of leading businesses through digital and green transitions amid deeper global integration and the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

By 2030, the programme targets training at least 10,000 executives nationwide, with at least 25 per cent female participation. All graduates are expected to be able to apply their knowledge and skills in real business operations, including digital transformation, green transition, risk management and regulatory compliance.

Training courses will last between 30 and 90 days and be delivered through in-person, online or hybrid formats. Participants will receive financial support from the State budget through scholarships or subsidised training programmes, and will be awarded certificates upon completion.

The programme will cover a range of courses, including strategic leadership, executive management, specialised director training, mini-MBA programmes and next-generation CEO development.

In addition to training, the initiative will establish CEO forums, alumni networks and platforms to share best practices and foster business connections.

The programme is aligned with the Politburo’s Resolution No. 68-NQ/TW issued in May 2025, which identifies the private sector as a key driver of the economy towards double-digit growth.
