For 11 years of the competition, Vietnam teams have won two gold medals, two silver medals, nine bronze medals, and several top 10 finishes in the World Finals.

To continue to create opportunities for Vietnamese talents to compete in a world-class office software skill competition, the Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union has joined IIG Vietnam and Viettel Group to organize the MOSWC – Viettel 2022 in Vietnam in March 2022.

The Microsoft Office Specialist World Championship, a global competition hosted by Certiport, Inc. aims at discovering and recognizing talents in Microsoft Office Word, Excel®, and PowerPoint®. The competition is held annually for young people aged 13 to 22, attracting millions of contestants from nearly 100 countries and regions each year.

In Vietnam, the competition has been held nationwide since 2010 by IIG Vietnam. After 12 successful seasons, the MOSWC – Viettel has proved its worth and is attracting more and more young talents who wish to master employability skills.

With the pandemic under control, this year’s competition promises to be intense and exciting. Besides the massive support from the organizer to candidates, there will be new points added to the competition rules, which will create more opportunities for contestants.
