PACE is a management academy with far-reaching influence in Vietnam, pioneering efforts to help businesses develop leadership and elevate governance. The predecessor of PACE Management Academy was PACE Business School – the first “business school” in the history of Vietnamese commerce and entrepreneurship.

In order to help establish and develop a professional standard for human resources and human resource management for the HR management industry in Vietnam, PACE founded the PACE School of Human Resources Management, known as “PACE SHR” (one of PACE’s 8 affiliated schools). Since 2015, PACE has signed a partnership and become the exclusive representative of SHRM to deploy SHRM’s world-class human resource training and development programs in Vietnam.

SHRM stands for the Society for Human Resource Management, tracing its origins to the founding of the American Society for Personnel Administration (ASPA) on November 21, 1948. SHRM is the largest and most influential organization in the world in the field of human resource management. With nearly 340,000 members in 180 countries, SHRM impacts the lives of more than 362 million employees and their families worldwide. SHRM’s mission is to elevate organizations and people globally by building the HR profession’s capacity and unleashing human potential, with a vision of creating millions of effective and equitable workplaces for everyone, everywhere.
