Our history

Establishment

The history of ICOGroup began during a period of deep economic integration in Vietnam when the demand for high-quality human resources surged. In response to this urgent need, ICOGroup was founded on April 29, 2008, with a mission to bridge the gap.

Initially established under the name International Human Resource Investment and Development Joint Stock Company, the organization focused on training and workforce development, with a particular emphasis on foreign language education and international career orientation.

With an initial charter capital of 692 million VND, ICOGroup was built on the dedication and collective vision of its five founding members. From the outset, they aspired to transform education and enhance the quality of human resources in Vietnam.
