Microsoft announced the company is going to invest $3 million in Vietnam over the course of three years as apart of the company’s YouthSpark program. The program aims to provide young people with opportunities for education, employment, and entrepreneurship.
\
The program will focus on three core areas in Vietnam: development of employees, broadening investment to youth across Vietnam and supporting young leaders in the country. Microsoft has a decent set up in Vietnam with over 10,000 employees working under the company. Part of the investment will also be used to provide employees on on-site IT training to learn new skills, and discover more opportunities.

César Cernuda, President of Microsoft Asia Pacific, said: “Vietnam is an important emerging market for Microsoft in Southeast Asia with great growth potential. With its large, young, highly-mobile and socially-engaged population, we believe that the country is poised to fully leverage the power of technology to grow and compete on a global stage. We are making this commitment to empower Vietnam’s digital generation to transform the future and further develop its economy under our YouthSpark program.”
