Pedagogical Coordinator

Since 2007, IECD has developed qualifying vocational training in the electrotechnics sector, through the Seeds of Hope program. The program was first launched in Lebanon and was then replicated in Egypt, Morocco, Ivory Coast, Libera, and Congo. It has successfully launched its intervention in Vietnam since 2017. The project, in its new chapter starting from 2023, in response to the global concerns on climate change and environmental issues, and the commitment of the Government of Vietnam to reach the net emission to “zero” by 2050, will continue to best prepare students for the future of the Electricity industry.

For the coming years, the Seed of Hope program would like to achieve the following objectives:

1. Support the most vulnerable students so they gain confidence to operate as young professionals at a company that offers long-term professional prospects.
2. Give trainees the interest for the future energies in a fast-changing economy and the ability to become versatile, adaptable professionals thanks to an innovative teaching method, the strong involvement of professionals within the school and combined individual and collective projects.
3. Offer stable and quality job opportunities to as many students, with decent salary conditions, in positions that they would not have accessed without the training.
