On the afternoon of November 5, the Center for Research and Training, Fostering Digital Media Knowledge (Vietnam Digital Media Association) coordinated with the Center for Supporting Vietnamese Youth Startups (Central Committee of the Vietnam Youth Union) and partners to announce the "Program to promote digital economic development - accompanying social responsibility".

With the goal of promoting the economy associated with people's social security, the program will implement digital business capacity building for 20 million Vietnamese youth.

Specifically, Vietnamese youth will be trained in skills to build social media channels on digital platforms and develop media channels on digital platforms.

The program's main activities include organizing megalive sessions and implementing hashtag content campaigns, thereby promoting socio-economic development, especially the digital economy.

Through the program, content creators, sellers, businesses and brands will together contribute profits from mega livestream sessions to organizations and community projects.

Not only targeting young people, the program also plans to implement training on skills to build social media channels on digital platforms at schools.

According to a representative of the BigHeart MCN content creator network, the program is expected to be deployed online from November 2024 on the online training platform of the Vietnam Youth Startup Support Center.

The implementation will take place in the form of livestream on the program's channels combined with direct implementation at the school. Each school participating in the training course will practice the implementation with the goal of having at least 1 social media channel on a digital platform, helping to improve communication and promotion capacity.

Mr. Nguyen Phan Huy Khoi, Director of the Center for Supporting Vietnamese Youth Entrepreneurship, said that this activity aims to improve digital business capacity for Vietnamese youth.

This will promote the building of a sustainable digital economy and business activities combined with social responsibility.

“ The digital economy is opening up great opportunities for Vietnamese youth in particular and Vietnamese people in general. This activity has both social significance and is also closely linked to career guidance and entrepreneurship for young people, ” said Mr. Nguyen Phan Huy Khoi.

Should children learn programming right from high school? Learning programming early not only helps students have a solid foundation of digital knowledge and skills, but also opens up many new opportunities for them when entering the labor market.
