• Partnership Development & Advisory

    ARP Education helps universities, schools, companies, and other organizations build a presence and lasting relationships in Vietnam. We represent you at events and presentations, connect you with the right institutions, chambers, and industry partners, and help turn those relationships into partnerships.

    What We Do

    In-Market Representation

    We attend university fairs, present at high schools, and answer questions from students and families on your behalf, so you have a consistent presence without opening an office.

    Relationship Building

    We build relationships with school counselors, university staff, chambers of commerce, and companies, and share what we learn with you.

    Student Guidance

    For universities, we guide interested students through the application process, including required documents and Vietnamese transcripts and translations, and liaise with your admissions office.

    Visibility and Positioning

    We help explain how your institution or organization is different, using Vietnamese-language materials and social media where needed, so families and partners understand what you offer.

    Programs and Partnerships

    We help shape collaborations such as internships, student projects, school-company programs, and degree pathways like 2+2 and 3+1.

    How It Works

    1. A conversation. We learn your goals, timeline, and what you’ve tried so far.

    2. A map of the market. We identify the schools, counselors, universities, and organizations worth approaching.

    3. A focused start. We begin with a defined set of activities, usually in Ho Chi Minh City, and report regularly on what we did and what we learned.

    4. Adjust and grow. As results come in, we expand to other cities or add services, or deepen the partnerships that we are working on.
