The main objective of the Re-WORK project is to enhance the employability of ethnic minority students in disadvantaged areas that are prioritized for socio-economic development by the Vietnamese government. Re-WORK is an interdisciplinary and innovative research project dedicated to improving the livelihoods/employment and social lives of ethnic minority youth in Vietnam. The research aims to foster collaboration among relevant stakeholders, creating opportunities for these marginalized students to share their aspirations with policymakers and researchers. This engagement is intended to inform the development and refinement of equitable and effective employment policies.
