interconnected and globalized globe has accelerated a fast-paced, demanding society in which business leaders must retain their competitive edge and avoid being left behind in a dynamic economy Market pressure and competition push many businesses to develop their future leaders, as well as people to study and strive for greater success in their careers In Vietnamese corporations, the emphasis is on Mid-level manager to create future leaders rather than continuing to grow current executives The number of professionals who want to continue working while taking Executive Education (EE) and Non-degree Executive Education (NDEE) courses has soared, and it has become a trend in Vietnam since 2000s As a result, the goal of this study is to look at the development of NDEE and assess it through perception of Vietnamese mid-level managers, focusing on their learning motivation and outcomes It also seeks to offer a unique socioeconomic background for Vietnam that differs from that of other nations' previously examined studies Furthermore, it analyzes whether participants’ expectations are met in the NDEE Finally, it will establish a conceptual framework for evaluating NDEE for mid-level managers in Vietnam Based on these findings, the study provides suggestions for NDEE policies and practices in Vietnam This paper will engage with mix method by conducting a survey and interviews An online survey questionnaire was used to collect samples for a quantitative study Participants in this study included Vietnamese mid-level managers who are currently involved in Non-degree Executive Education The results of quantitative and qualitative analysis in this study revealed that NDEE helps to enhance knowledge and intensive skills for qualified mid-level managers, hence contributing to productive employment, decent work and sustainable economic growth in Vietnam Social and cultural motivations have a significant influence on mid-level managers' decision to enroll in NDEE courses, whereas economic factors influence the decision to pursue further learning pursuits Key words: Executive Education, Non-degree Executive Education, Sustainable Development

motivation, operationalization and significance 1.1 Background Lifelong learning and high-quality education have had a great influence on not only personal and professional growth, but also on society's overall quality of life and long-term development Thus, lifelong learning has evolved from a competitive advantage to a business necessity Because the composition of the workforce is changing, an aging society requires the creation of new forms of education and management orientation for managers To achieve modernization, industrialization, and long-term growth, the government must reform its labor market by implementing programs for lifelong learning and universal access to TVET and tertiary education, as well as ensuring that labor market institutions are prepared to respond to changing labor market conditions (Ilo, 2012) EE programs are defined as customized, open, and optional enrollment programs for management and business executives that lead to certifications or degrees (Leventoff, 2018) EE courses are offered in a variety of global, regional, and mid-sized universities and business schools throughout the world The first criticism of NDEE is that private education providers' liberal activities make their EE programs less recognized; the second is state universities' inability to deliver effective and practical information; and the third is the illegality of free market providers who provide NDEE without legitimacy and state recognition Furthermore, there has been criticism of EE in the past when colleges launched EE early in history but it lacked practical and real-world application, generally due to a mismatch between businesses' talent management demands and university lecture halls (Lloyd & Newkirk, 2011) Therefore, the accountability for EE and NDEE education quality in Vietnam still has been tested This study will undertake more research from MOLISA's institution and policy in order to offer a more comprehensive picture of Vietnam's condition How EE and NDEE link to SD8 and SDG4 Sustainable Management Other (please specify) [2/24] Which organization provide the courses to you?
