Digital economy - one of the key trends of the digital age - is becoming an inseparable part of the global economy. The application of digital technology in business activities, management and transactions is creating fundamental changes in the way businesses and organizations operate.

According to Ms. Dang Thi Bich Triem, Deputy Director of VietinBank Phu Yen, in addition to professional knowledge, employers today are looking for candidates with knowledge and skills in digital technology. Therefore, in recent times, the unit has cooperated with many universities in the province to contribute to training and building a workforce suitable for the job at the enterprise.

In the context of the world entering the era of high technology and artificial intelligence, integrating technological thinking and sustainable thinking for learners is a necessary step for the education system in the green economy. Universities must quickly update and adjust training programs to provide students with core knowledge and skills to meet the requirements of the modern labor market. Students need to be equipped with knowledge of digital technology, circular economy, and practice analytical skills, environmental impact assessment, etc.

The vocational training system, colleges and universities are increasingly linked with green production practices and technological innovation. Thus, green transformation cannot lack thorough preparation of human resources, through the synchronous implementation of educational strategies, focusing on skills development, modernizing training programs... This will contribute to demonstrating the role of education in the country's development journey.
