Why Tetra Tech International Development?

As a leading global development consulting firm, our purpose is to contribute to a world where people, communities and the planet thrive.

Tetra Tech International Development works with governments, businesses and NGOs to solve complex development challenges. Our dedicated team helps partners including DFAT, USAID and the Asian Development Bank to deliver effective and sustainable projects in more than 80 countries around the world.

The Program

The Vietnam Australia Partnership for Human Resource Development Program (VAPHRD) (known as Aus4Skills) is an Australia official development assistance program, which supports Vietnam to access and use high-level professional and technical knowledge, skills and competencies to contribute to Vietnam’s sustainable economic and social development.

Aus4Skills implements DFAT’s Australia Awards Scholarships (AAS) and alumni engagement programs in Vietnam, together with targeted components of Human Resource Development support:

Promoting Industry Linkages in Vocational Education and Training (VET), which supports engagement between industry and VET institutions to improve the quality of VET in Vietnam;
Advancing Women in Leadership (AWIL), which aims to increase the representation of women in political leadership and decision-making positions in Vietnam;
Supporting Australia’s Broader Interests (ABI) / Vietnam Australia Centre (VAC), which supports Vietnam’s future leadership in the areas of strategic leadership, international engagement and policy research, analysis and advisory.

The Program is required to skilfully manage these multiple components that contribute to overarching program outcomes.

In addition, all Program activities look to contribute to the objectives of the Australian Government’s Foreign Policy White Paper, the Strategic Partnership between Australia and Vietnam and the Australian Government’s recently released COVID-19 Development Response Plan for Vietnam.

Phase 1 of the program concludes on 30 June 2021. A 4.5 year Phase 2 is expected to commence from July 2021.
