Vietnam international railway workforce development

Overview

Vietnam is establishing international partnerships to develop a specialized workforce for its expanding railway infrastructure, including high-speed and urban rail projects.

In September 2026, Vietnam and France signed a memorandum of understanding to create a Railway Technology School in Hanoi. This initiative, involving the Hanoi People's Committee, the French Development Agency, and the University of Transport Technology, aims to train engineers and technical experts to support Vietnam's goal of implementing 15 urban railway lines by 2035.

Following this, the Vietnamese-German University partnered with DB Engineering & Consulting and the DB Rail Academy to establish the Vietnamese-German Rail Institute. This collaboration focuses on addressing a projected need for 70,000 qualified personnel by 2035 through degree programs, management training, and research into railway innovation.
