Started in 2015, the $8.7 million BUILD-IT project leveraged government, private sector, and academic partners' vast capabilities to build strategic leadership skills, advance university autonomy, improve program and instructional quality, and sustain lasting partnerships with the private sector. The project achieved lasting impact through partnering with eight higher education institutions in Vietnam such as Can Tho University, University of Da Nang - University of Science and Technology, etc.
Accordingly, 121 educational programs received regional and international accreditation, and about 4,600 students benefited from project-based curricula activities. Besides, 4,000 university leaders and staff improved their skills in the areas of leadership, strategy, curriculum, and partnerships with industry.
