Speaking at the MoA signing ceremony, Dr. Tran The Son emphasized that the cooperation between VKU and EvvoLabs represents an important step forward in VKU’s strategy of integrating enterprises into its training processes. He reaffirmed that VKU always prioritizes practice-oriented training models, where students are exposed to emerging technologies, work alongside industry experts, and develop professional thinking while still at university.

The establishment and operation of the Center of Excellence, together with the implementation of the intensive Apprenticeship Program, not only provide a modern learning environment but also contribute to developing a generation of technology engineers who are work-ready and capable of meeting the increasingly high demands of both domestic and international labor markets. He expressed his hope that the partnership with EvvoLabs would open up new opportunities for education, research, and the development of high-quality human resources at VKU.

Mr. Vince Chew expressed his strong impression of VKU’s training model, particularly the University’s proactive mindset, continuous innovation, and the technological competence of its students. He shared that EvvoLabs consistently seeks training partners capable of producing industry-ready human resources with strong technological expertise who can immediately participate in the company’s real-world projects. For this reason, cooperation with VKU is a strategic choice that brings tangible benefits to both parties. The Apprenticeship Program at VKU will receive serious investment from EvvoLabs, with a strong focus on in-depth training quality, placing work performance and students’ professional development at the core. Through this collaboration, EvvoLabs believes that VKU’s young engineers will become an important driving force contributing not only to EvvoLabs’ growth but also to the broader regional technology ecosystem.

MoA Exchange Ceremony between VKU and EvvoLabs

The MoA between VKU and EvvoLabs establishes a long-term cooperation framework aimed at developing human resources, promoting applied research and real-world projects, and strengthening the company’s employer branding. Under the agreement, the Center of Excellence will be co-operated as a modern learning and research space, with equipment sponsored by EvvoLabs and academic engagement provided by VKU. A key highlight of the partnership is the intensive Apprenticeship Program, with a minimum duration of six months, in which students participate in real projects with a clear pathway toward recruitment. In addition, the two parties will collaborate on supervising student capstone projects, organizing workshops and seminars, and conducting joint research activities over a three-year period.

The MoA signing ceremony and the launch of the intensive Apprenticeship Program between VKU and EvvoLabs clearly demonstrate the University’s strong commitment to deeply integrating enterprises into the training process, creating opportunities for students to “learn through projects and grow through real-world practice.” At the same time, the event reaffirms VKU’s position as a trusted destination for international technology partners. This strategic partnership is expected to deliver tangible benefits for students while opening up new pathways for research, innovation, and the development of high-quality technology human resources in the coming years.
