Our history – celebrating our Decade

In 2020, EAS Vietnam IHHR Institute celebrated a Decade of Opportunity.

The Decade coincided with the 25^th anniversary of the establishment of EAS Vietnam IHHR Institute, with the first Chancellor being appointed in 1995. To mark this significant milestone in the institution’s history, the Decade Project was established with the primary aim of enabling the Institution to proudly and publicly support its ambitious vision to become an International Institute of Higher Leadership and Administration that is relevant to the needs and aspirations of contemporary learners and the community of the 21st century.

A secondary aim of the decade Project is to provide a vehicle through which the institute can reconnect with the EAS Vietnam Family Tree and lay a strong foundation for a major capital campaign to deliver inspiring and ambitious projects to benefit EAS Vietnam's students and the community.

Historical context

In celebrating the decade in 2020, we acknowledged that although EAS Vietnam IHHR Institute is a young institution in leadership and administration, it has a long, rich history, encompassing more 25 years commitment to providing high quality, accessible education and enriching the community.

Today's EAS Vietnam IHHR Institute is a direct descendant of EAS Vietnam, which first opened its doors to students in May 1995. It was intended by local and global businesses and community to offer students an education that would fit them for a role in the skilled workforce and raise students out of the ranks of unskilled labourers. The Institution adopted the image of the "Door of Opportunity" as a means of expressing to the entire community its purpose and reason for existence.

EAS Vietnam IHHR Institute proudly inherits that spirit and tradition.

Our vision to be open and excellent, creating exceptional value for any students from any backgrounds and uplifting the communities in which we operate, is based in strong foundations laid more 2 decades ago. There are hundred students from Japan, South Korea, China, Ghana, etc.., have studied in EAS Vietnam IHHR Institute in 20s.

The Institute of Opportunity and Success

2020 was an opportune time to reflect on our heritage and share our vision for the future – as we strive to create education and training opportunities for students in Vietnam and AEC, CP-TPP area and beyond Global.

Beyond 2020 however, there are opportunities to use the Decades to aid us in driving our strategic goals and objectives.

In celebrating our Decades, we set the following four objectives:

• Be excellent, engaged and accessible in Higher Leadership, Administration, Higher IHRM, Higher Education with global IHHRM G23.0 standard.
• Reinvigorate a sense of pride and belonging for all EAS Vietnam's staffs, past and present.
• Shine a spotlight on 30 years of students success.
• Highlight our areas of strength and difference.

We will continue using the above objectives beyond 2020 to drive initiatives that have impact on the ongoing and various external engagement and fundraising activities of the Institute.
