Program to train and develop 10,000 CEOs approved

Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Chi Dung has signed Decision No. 525/QD-TTg, dated March 31, 2026, approving a program to train and develop 10,000 Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) through 2030, according to a report by the Government News.

Under the decision, the program aims to train 10,000 CEOs and managers from private sector enterprises nationwide by 2030, with a target of at least 25% female participation.

The program strives for 100% of graduates to be capable of applying modern management skills to real-world business practices, leading digital and green transformations, managing risks, and ensuring legal compliance.

Furthermore, the initiative aims to build and grow an alumni network, organize CEO forums, and develop a network of prestigious domestic and international CEO training institutions.

The program targets individuals from the private sector.

According to the approval, participants will receive state budget support to attend training courses in person, online, or through hybrid formats. 

The duration of these courses will range from 30 to 90 days, depending on the specific program.

The program will proactively cooperate with development agencies and international organizations to mobilize technical and financial resources, as well as experts for implementation.

There will be a strong emphasis on linking with prestigious international institutes, universities, and training centers to establish partnerships and facilitate technology and curriculum transfers. This includes organizing joint training courses and short-term programs that offer co-branded certifications. The program also seeks to mobilize foreign lecturers, CEOs, economists, and entrepreneurs to participate in direct teaching, coaching, and mentoring.

In addition, the program will focus on enhancing the capacity of trainers and consultants in specialized topics such as sustainable business, green growth, and the latest global business trends. Conferences, seminars, and field trips to foreign enterprises will also be organized to facilitate practical learning and experience exchange for both students and instructors.
