INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY
As a federal enterprise, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH supports the German Government in achieving its objectives in the field of international cooperation for sustainable development. We work in a variety of fields and support our cooperation partners in designing strategies and meeting their policy goals. GIZ Viet Nam is currently engaged in three priority areas: 1) Vocational training; 2) Environmental policy and sustainable natural resource use; 3) Energy. Gender equality is one of the key values of our company and of the work we do. Fostering gender equality in our project operation and our internal equal opportunity provisions are two strategic pillars of our corporate identity and policy.

GIZ advises the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE) on achieving its goals in energy cooperation with more than 20 countries through the global project Energy Partnerships. The Energy Partnerships are one of the central instruments of the German government’s foreign energy policy strategy. The Vietnamese-German Energy Partnership acts as a dialog platform for bilateral exchange in the energy sector for actors from both countries in politics, business, civil society, and research.
Empowering women working in the energy sector is a particularly important aspect of the Energy Partnership. The Vietnamese-German Energy Partnership supports networking and exchange among female energy experts and increases their visibility through the establishment and operation of the Women in Energy Viet Nam Network (WEVN).
Furthermore, the project “Implementation of the International Hydrogen Ramp-up Program” (H2Uppp) in Viet Nam supports companies in identifying, preparing and implementing projects for the production and use of green hydrogen and derived products – especially in developing and emerging countries .
