In September 2026, Global Ready Talent (GRT), a division of Talent JDI under JDI Group, partnered with the NUS Centre for Future-ready Graduates (NUS-CFG) to design and deliver a seven-day Ho Chi Minh City immersion for the National University of Singapore’s Global Industry Insights course (CFG2002). The cohort of 72 undergraduates from Computing, Business, Engineering, Science, and Arts & Social Sciences examined how a fast-growing regional economy works and where their own field of study fits within it.

Structured around three lines of inquiry (AI & Human Judgement, Capability to Value, and Regional Careers), the programme brought students into direct dialogue with ten organisations, including nine industry hosts and the University of Economics and Law, across technology, manufacturing, consumer, education and digital sectors. Moving from observation to questioning, reflection and application, the cohort tested classroom concepts against the realities of a changing regional economy, treating each company not as a destination but as evidence.
