TOT 2025 Wrap-up: Spreading REZCET in Agriculture and Building Vietnam’s Future Green Workforce

ce

From October 30 to November 2, 2025, the Center for Community and Environmental Development (C&E), in collaboration with the ICISE Quy Nhon Science Center, successfully organized the Training of Trainers (TOT) Program 2025 titled “REZCET in Agriculture: Preparing a Green Workforce for the Future.”

The program brought together 24 participants representing 15 universities and training institutions across Vietnam—marking an important milestone in the effort to integrate Renewable Energy – Zero Carbon – Energy Transition (REZCET) into the agriculture, forestry and aquaculture sectors.

🔍 1. Key Highlights of TOT 2025

✔ 24 participants – 3 regions – 1 shared vision

Participants from the North, Central, and Southern regions created a multidisciplinary learning community, representing fields such as environment, agriculture, economics, tourism, and technology.

✔ 4 days – 6 core modules – over 15 interactive learning activities

The programme was designed using C&E’s 2025 research framework, enabling participants to:

  • Understand the core concepts and relevance of REZCET

  • Design REZCET-integrated lessons using the 4Cs Development Model & 6 Trumps principles

  • Apply AI tools in teaching and energy analysis

  • Explore real-world renewable energy models including solar farms, wind farms, community tourism, and aquaculture systems in Binh Dinh

✔ 100% of participants completed REZCET-integrated lesson plans

Four groups designed and presented 45–60 minute lessons aligned with the 4Cs model, covering:

  • Introduction to REZCET

  • Green value chains

  • AI applications in REZCET

  • Survey-based analysis of renewable energy perception

🌱 2. Positive Feedback from Learners

The post-training evaluation revealed exceptionally positive results:

⭐ 92% of participants were satisfied with the training quality

Learners highly valued:

  • Clear, practical and locally relevant REZCET content

  • AI tools integrated into learning

  • Day 3 field trip exploring the Fujiwara solar farm, Phuong Mai wind farm, Nhon Ly community-based tourism, and aquaculture systems using renewable energy

  • Experience-based teaching approaches that improved long-term knowledge retention

⭐ 100% agreed that the trainers demonstrated strong expertise and engaging delivery

Assoc. Prof. Le Anh Tuan was praised as an “REZCET inspiration,” transforming complex topics into accessible and compelling stories.
AI and pedagogy experts were recognized for being “practical, modern, and highly applicable.”

⭐ 95% positively evaluated the event organization

The organizing team was described as:

  • professional

  • supportive

  • responsive

  • flexible in adjusting the program during storm-induced travel disruptions affecting the Hue trainers

⚡ 3. Outstanding Outcomes

📌 REZCET knowledge became practical and directly applicable

Participants gained deeper understanding of:

  • REZCET in agriculture, forestry, and fisheries

  • Solar power finance

  • Wind energy’s role in local development

  • Green job opportunities in the renewable energy sector

📌 Enhanced teaching capacity aligned with international standards

Participants mastered:

  • 4Cs-based lesson design

  • 6 Trumps teaching principles

  • AI tools for education (ChatGPT, Gemini, NotebookLM, etc.)

  • Practical lesson planning techniques

📌 Stronger interdisciplinary connections and partnerships

TOT 2025 fostered a growing network of lecturers, researchers, and renewable energy professionals eager to collaborate in education and pilot REZCET initiatives.

🌏 4. Why TOT 2025 Matters: Acting for a Green Workforce

With Vietnam committed to achieving Net Zero by 2050, and agriculture responsible for one-third of national emissions, REZCET plays a strategic role in training the future workforce.

TOT 2025 reinforces that:

➡ Integrating REZCET into education is a long-term investment in Vietnam’s green workforce.
➡ Universities are key actors in accelerating the energy transition.
➡ Young people are central to shaping a low-carbon future.

🏁 5. Conclusion

TOT 2025 was more than a training course—it was a journey of learning, experience, connection, and inspiration.
Over four days at ICISE Quy Nhon, participants built a strong foundation to bring REZCET into classrooms and inspire thousands of students every year.

C&E is committed to continuing this collaboration through the REZCET pilot teaching phase in 2026, expanding the programme’s impact and contributing to Vietnam’s future green workforce.
