In his remarks at the ceremony, Dr. Tran The Son – Vice Rector of VKU emphasized that the cooperation with LikeLion clearly demonstrates VKU’s consistent orientation toward linking education with the business ecosystem, particularly with reputable international partners in the fields of information technology and software development. VKU identifies the training of high-quality human resources capable of working in international environments as a core mission, in which cooperative internship programs, hands-on training, and the transfer of advanced training models play a key role. The signing of the MoU with LikeLion not only creates opportunities for VKU students to access Korean-standard training and internship programs, but also contributes to enhancing their professional competence, practical skills, and international integration capacity. Previously, the K-Tech College 2025 training program, funded by the Korean Government under the leadership of the Ministry of SMEs and Startups (MSS) and managed by the Korea SMEs and Startups Agency (KOSME), was successfully implemented by LikeLion, delivering strong outcomes. The program has effectively supported VKU students in developing their competencies and preparing them to enter the international labor market, fully aligning with VKU’s applied, practice-oriented, and internationally integrated training orientation.
