Decent Work and Economic Growth
Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all
Our Approach
VMRF(DU) is committed to advancing Sustainable Development Goal 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) by promoting inclusive economic opportunities, enhancing employability, fostering entrepreneurship, and supporting decent work practices. Our approach focuses on equipping students with industry-relevant knowledge, professional competencies, practical skills, and an entrepreneurial mindset to prepare them for meaningful careers and contribute to sustainable economic development.
Through skill development programmes, career guidance, internships, industry interactions, placement support, entrepreneurship initiatives, and collaborative partnerships, we strive to bridge the gap between academic learning and industry requirements. We also emphasise the importance of ethical employment practices, equal opportunities, workplace safety, professional development, and respect for labour rights in fostering a fair and inclusive working environment.
By integrating education, innovation, employability, and social responsibility, VMRF (DU) aims to empower students and communities, strengthen industry–academia collaboration, and contribute to productive employment and sustainable economic growth in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
