This year, the annual campaign took place from May 27 to August 31, becoming the 25th edition with a large number of activities spreading across the country, leaving a positive impression in the society.
Ten out of the eleven targets of the campaign were achieved and surpassed. The campaign provided startup knowledge for at least 200,000 youngsters, and supported 700 startup projects.
The campaign’s activities contributed to educating union members and other youngsters, while raising their political awareness through activities to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Dien Bien Phu Victory and the 55 years of implementing President Ho Chi Minh’s Testament.
