This program has been held nineteen times   to strengthen the sustainable development capacity in the developing countries. The program also nurtures economic development leaders and local international entrepreneurs.

 The week consisted of lectures by professors of HGU and local universities and practice in small group gatherings. The starting lecture  from Professor Keehong Kim of ICT Start-ups Department was focused on the mindset that was needed. Then, lectures in the field of fiancé, accounts, commercial law, intellectual property rights, and business communication followed.

Participants presented their work plans every afternoon. Evaluators suggested improvements. During the final day, the competition based on the group projects was initiated.

After finishing the GET program, the Junior Entrepreneurship Training program was hosted for high school students in Vietnam. A Senior Entrepreneurship Training course was hosted for government officials, CEOs, and Chief of organizations as well.
