He shared that VKU is a public university under the University of Danang, with the mission and responsibility of training and providing high-quality human resources, conducting scientific research, and transferring knowledge and technology. The university aims to become one of the leading institutions in Vietnam with aspirations for international integration in the fields of digital technology and the digital economy. With nearly 8,000 students and an annual enrollment quota of 1,500, VKU represents a high-quality technology workforce that meets current human resource demands. At present, VKU has been collaborating with many partners to offer bilingual training programs in English – Vietnamese, Korean – Vietnamese, and Japanese – Vietnamese. Among these, the cooperation model with Nix Education to train Software Engineering students in a Japanese – Vietnamese bilingual program has attracted nearly 300 students, achieving impressive results in both professional competence and Japanese language proficiency. Students are not only trained with internationally standardized professional knowledge but also equipped with workplace skills and familiarized with the corporate culture of Japanese enterprises. VKU expressed its desire to expand deeper collaboration with Japanese companies in the field of digital technology, offering students more opportunities to study, intern, and work in an international environment.

Representatives of the enterprises thanked VKU for the thoughtful reception and highly appreciated the university’s dynamic development. The enterprises shared that they are currently operating multiple branches in Vietnam and have a significant need for personnel in information technology, hospitality, and nursing. In addition to professional expertise, foreign language skills, especially Japanese are identified as essential criteria for the young workforce. The enterprises hope that, through partnerships with reputable educational institutions like VKU, they can build a high-quality human resource pool that meets recruitment requirements and can develop long-term in the Japanese market.
