A Vietnamese Company Was Chosen By A 175-Year-Old German Enterprise As Its Exclusive Human Resources Supplier

On April 1, 2025, at SHD Academy, an important milestone was officially set: Anona Enterprise - Germany's leading functional food brand with a 175-year history of development - directly awarded a vocational training contract for "Machine and system operator technicians" to 17 SHD students. This is not only the result of a careful selection process but also a testament to SHD's reputation in the eyes of international partners.

For the first time, a large enterprise in Germany selected 17 Vietnamese students in the same recruitment period.

For decades, companies in Germany have been cautious in recruiting international staff. Anona – as one of the leading manufacturers of dietary supplements in Germany – previously only prioritized domestic and EU staff to ensure training quality and operational stability.

Anona is Germany's leading manufacturer of dietary supplements with over 175 years of experience.

However, with the cooperation with SHD through the connection of Avestos Group, Anona decided to "open the door" wider than ever, recruiting 17 Vietnamese students in the same recruitment period - an unprecedented number. This not only shows trust in the quality of candidates but also recognizes SHD's capacity to train and select human resources.

The fact that nearly 20 SHD students passed two rigorous selection rounds – from interviews to professional tests – proves that Vietnamese human resources are completely capable of meeting German standards, in terms of language, technical thinking and professional attitude.

Not stopping at recruiting and language training, SHD has pioneered the implementation of the primary vocational training program - basic skills classes with career orientation, helping students get acquainted with the working environment and skill requirements in Germany. This is a practical and different preparation step, helping candidates not only "pass the exam" but also "do it" - the key factor that German businesses highly appreciate.

In addition, the screening, training and career counseling process is invested in systematically and personalized by SHD for each profession and each student. That is the reason why Anona - a 175-year-old enterprise with strict recruitment standards - chose SHD as a reliable human resource supplier in this project.

This affirms that SHD is not only a recruitment bridge, but has become an organization capable of accompanying German enterprises in the strategy of internationalizing human resources - something that few units in Vietnam can do.

It is no coincidence that the senior management of both Avestos and Anona personally flew more than 10,000km to hand over the contract to SHD students. That demonstrates the level of investment, expectation and trust that the German partner has placed in SHD.

The ceremony of awarding vocational training contracts from Anona enterprise to SHD students is the result of the journey of building reputation, affirming quality and persistent efforts from SHD over the years. 

From event organization, welcoming partners, to careful preparation for each student – all reflect the professional, standardized, strategic working style of the SHD team. 

Each student who signs the contract not only marks a journey of continuous efforts, but also opens up a bright career future in Germany - where they are well-trained, live in good conditions and have the opportunity to develop long-term in a professional environment.

SHD – Where career dreams in Germany begin

The success of the project with Anona is a solid stepping stone for SHD to continue expanding its network of German business partners, especially in the engineering, nursing and industrial manufacturing sectors.

SHD's goal is not only to send students to Germany, but also to ensure that each student who comes to Germany has real professional value and the ability to integrate and develop long-term.

SHD is proud to be a reliable partner of leading German enterprises, a solid launching pad to help the young generation of Vietnam realize their dreams through vocational training - working - settling in Europe's leading economy.
