Within the framework of the series, UEH and the Ca Mau Provincial People's Committee successfully organized two training programs:

"Enhancing Ca Mau Province's Competitiveness Towards Double-Digit Growth for the 2026–2030 Period," held from December 10 to 29, 2025.
"Enhancing Leadership and Management Capacity for Commune-Level Officials in the Two-Tier Local Government Model," held from December 12, 2025, to January 17, 2026.

The program engaged leaders from provincial departments, planned officials, and management from Party Committees, People's Councils, and People's Committees at the commune level. The training courses focused on updating modern governance mindsets, enhancing policy planning and execution skills, and providing foundational knowledge on local development management. The program was delivered through a combination of theory and case studies, with in-depth discussions on the province's practical issues and 'bottlenecks'.

The collaboration between Ca Mau Province and UEH over the past period has contributed to the effective implementation of this training series, aiming to enhance the province's competitiveness and strengthen the leadership skills of key officials at all levels. These collaborative efforts not only support the locality in achieving its sustainable growth targets for the 2026–2030 period but also lay a crucial foundation for the effective operation of the two-tier local government model.

With a spirit of close cooperation and long-term commitment, UEH and Ca Mau Province expect to continue building on these achievements, contributing to the successful realization of the development goals set forth in the resolutions of the Provincial Party Congress, and aiming for a dynamic, modern, and breakthrough future for Ca Mau.
