In addition to academic training, VJIT regularly collaborates with industry partners to organize seminars, workshops, career fairs, and Japanese cultural exchange activities. Over the past decade, the Institute has implemented numerous internship programs in Japan, enabling students to gain practical experience while expanding their international career prospects.
Representing the partner organizations, Mr. Shinji Hashimoto, General Director of NISSIN DENKO and representative of Daichi Japan, noted that many Japanese companies are currently facing a shortage of highly qualified technical personnel. Through the connection facilitated by Riki Vietnam and VJIT, companies have welcomed Vietnamese students for internships and have highly valued their willingness to learn, adaptability, and professional work ethic.

The parties discussed potential areas of collaboration during the meeting
Mr. Hashimoto also shared plans to expand production operations in the coming years and expressed a strong interest in recruiting more talent from Vietnam. According to him, demand for Vietnamese engineers in Japan is expected to continue growing, particularly in the fields of component manufacturing and supporting industries.
One of the key topics discussed was the possibility of launching a specialized engineering training pathway for VJIT students who aspire to work in Japan. Under the proposed model, the company would collaborate with the University to develop focused training in Japanese language proficiency, professional skills, and corporate culture, helping students meet industry requirements immediately upon graduation.
Industry collaboration continues to create new development opportunities for VJIT students
Mr. Nguyen Xuan Hung welcomed the proposal, noting that it aligns closely with VJIT's industry integrated educational approach. He emphasized that international internship and employment opportunities enable students to gain valuable practical experience, strengthen their professional competencies, and enhance their competitiveness in the job market after graduation.
