This is also an opportunity for HUTECH students to learn about the labor market, apprehend employer requirements, and accumulate necessary skills for their future career journey".
With the goal of expanding the business connection map, right at the opening ceremony, HUTECH signed cooperation agreements with five Korean businesses to open up practical learning and employment opportunities for students. These agreements are in accordance with the training strategy that the school has pioneered and actively promoted over the years.

In order to strengthen the learning spirit and recognize the students' efforts to overcome difficulties, DM&C Vietnam Company awarded five scholarships with a total value of 20,000,000 VND to HUTECH students with difficult economic situations and excellent academic achievements. This was a huge encouragement for those students to continue to strive in their studies.
