The training course "IFC Training Program: Operation Overview and Participation Strategy" is designed to equip learners with a foundational knowledge base and core competencies regarding International Financial Centers (IFCs).

Successful launch of cohort 1 with the participation of 48 learners and 8 in-depth modules

The training course "Knowledge of Operating the Vietnam International Financial Center in Ho Chi Minh City" was implemented based on the cooperation agreement between the New York Institute of Finance (NYIF) and UEH signed in October 2025, following the proposal of the Executive Agency of the Vietnam International Financial Center in Ho Chi Minh City (VIFC-HCMC). The objective was to prepare high-quality human resources for VIFC-HCMC during its formation and development phase. 

Previously, from February to March 2026, UEH successfully organized the first cohort of the training program with 48 learners, including leaders and specialists from various departments, agencies, and the VIFC-HCMC Executive Agency, as well as lecturers involved in IFC-related training. 

The course brought together a team of experts and UEH lecturers alongside speakers from financial institutions, investment funds, and financial technology enterprises, offering multidimensional perspectives on IFC operations, financial markets, Fintech, cryptocurrencies, risk management, and development strategies for International Financial Centers. After 8 sessions covering 8 in-depth modules, all 48 learners were awarded course completion certificates by UEH and VIFC-HCMC.
