HAVINA GROUP – Contributing to Vietnam's human capital development in an era of international integration

One World One Family – Global Humanitarian Award 2025 in the Category of Education. Mr. Nguyen Van Dung (Leo) is honoured for his steadfast commitment to strengthening the education ecosystem and inspiring young people in Vietnam to pursue education.

As globalisation deepens, competition for high-quality human capital has become a defining factor shaping national competitiveness and long-term development. For Viet Nam, education and training remain central to its sustainable development strategy. Strengthening foreign language proficiency, global competencies, and international citizenship among younger generations is not merely an immediate priority but a structural, long-term task.

FROM LANGUAGE EDUCATION TO A MULTI-SECTOR EDUCATION AND CAREER ECOSYSTEM

Founded in the field of foreign language training, Havina Group has consistently taken the view that education should extend beyond language acquisition. Instead, it should be embedded within a broader framework of human development and long-term career orientation.

Building on this approach, Havina has expanded into skills training, study abroad and vocational study abroad consultancy, international internships, teacher development, youth leadership training, and corporate education and consulting. These activities are delivered through member entities, including Havina Language Academy (HLA), Havina Global (HG), and Havina Business Academy (HBA), alongside a range of specialised education projects.

Hanoi’s operations span multiple localities across Vietnam and continue to expand through regional and international partnerships, reflecting a growing emphasis on cross-border educational cooperation.

INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS AS A STRATEGIC PILLAR

A core element of Havina Group’s strategy is the promotion of international cooperation to ensure relevance, standardisation, and recognition of its training programmes. Partnerships with global language assessment bodies such as Cambridge, IELTS, TOEFL, and PTE, together with universities, academies, and vocational institutions worldwide, have enabled Havina to support structured learning and career pathways for Vietnamese learners.

These collaborative programmes focus on sectors with sustained global demand, including finance and business, tourism and hospitality, STEM, healthcare, vocational skills, and management. Beyond academic content, they are designed to familiarise learners with international professional standards and workplace cultures - an increasingly important dimension of labour mobility.

EDUCATION, SUSTAINABILITY, AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Alongside its academic and professional objectives, Havina Group integrates social responsibility, sustainability, and global citizenship into its curricula and extracurricular activities. Community-based initiatives, environmental education, and cultural engagement programmes form part of this approach, encouraging learners to develop both practical skills and social awareness.

Through activities such as Explore Vietnam’s heritage programmes, Speaking for the Planet competitions, international exchanges, and community-oriented projects, Havina seeks to cultivate graduates who combine professional competence with a sense of responsibility towards society and national development in an interconnected world.

ADAPTING TO DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION AND GLOBAL EDUCATION STANDARDS

In response to digital transformation and the growing influence of technology on education, Havina Group has progressively adopted digital learning solutions, updated teaching methodologies, and enhanced learner assessment practices.

With more than 12 years of experience delivering education and training projects in Vietnam and internationally, and as an early adopter of personalised training models, Havina Group positions itself as a private education provider seeking to make a practical contribution to Vietnam’s human capital development in the context of global integration.
