In the area of faculty and staff development, in particular, HUTECH has attracted many young scientists to join its team of faculty and researchers. Among these is Assoc.

Moreover, the average age of PhD holders at HUTECH is 40 with the majority are young researchers and graduates of foreign universities.
 
In terms of corporate relations, HUTECH embraces its academic model of an applied university in regarding enterprises not simply as potential partners but as integrated stakeholders in its training process. In other words, enterprises take on an effective role as part of the academic program together with the university in supporting student learning and gaining practical experience. Notably, nearly all academic majors at HUTECH have an internship requirement as part of its curriculum.
 
On behalf of the delegation, Minister Phung Xuan Nha gave a constructive speech to the collective of HUTECH. He said, "Ho Chi Minh City has the most dynamic development in the country with hundreds of universities and colleges but I choose HUTECH for a reason. By visiting a private university like HUTECH, I want to change the mindset of ‘visiting only public institutions’, bringing fairness to every college and university. With equal treatment to both public and private higher education institutions, the Ministry will support the development directions that HUTECH has been following.”
