Asia's Next Generation of Talent
Nearly 30% of Chinese university graduates are expected to be unemployed, whereas the corporate sector across Asia often cites a skills gap.

How can leaders from government and business better align the supply and demand in the labour market with education systems to more effectively harness Asia's large talent pool?

@Hongleson What do you mean? CEO Dang Thanh Tam should be an good example for every Viet generation to learn if they want to be rich.... Even though Mr. Dang Thanh Tam got accent of speaking but who does not since English is not his first language? U people should look at what he can do rather than his accent...he is one of the richest guy in VN and he did not get there by speaking good English you moron..

Academicians do not understand how the business world really works, its dirty. Future of Asia should be based on Technology, Engineering, and Bioscience. Education should not teach students how to be in a corporations, but the ability to create skills that generate small businesses and to think.

nice video! nice speech also.

[msqbrian]

omg! what a perfect Vietnamese English speech.

i agree the academicians can't understand that theory does not apply to real world.

Here in Canada they still following the method in which they produce worker but has no place to work. School should start preparing student the abilitiy to start developing new business rather then teaching them in to fill in the limit shoes the world provide, and everyone is fighting to wear those shoes + population growth

The Vietnamese guy has the worst English accent. I barely understand him and his discussion becomes an unclear one.

[girly4040]

This is a good information that we should watch and learn. Mr.Tam should practice and prepare more about his English because this is the world meeting, he's somehow representing Vietnamese education. Please no excuses,that's how we succeed in many ways. Vietnam is number 1.

this talk isnot about inglish, its about your and my futures

@MattyJCompton Use "CC". It's pretty accurate.

[usenetposts]

It's great how he pronounces "focus" in the 43rd minute. He sounds like he's saying "f*ck us".

[MattyJCompton]

Very difficult to understand Dang Thang Tam. He does not pronounce many English words properly and does not complete some words. Very distracting.
