Currently, Japan is investing increasingly heavily in Vietnam. A workforce with a professional work ethic and the ability to adapt to one of the world's most demanding environments has become a top priority for all businesses.

This is also why Hutech's Vietnam-Japan program, with the consultation and method transfer from Kanazawa Institute of Technology (KIT - Japan), attracts the attention of many young people who want to work and develop themselves in a Japanese business environment.

In his congratulatory remarks, Mr. Ono Masuo, Consul General of Japan in Ho Chi Minh City, expressed his hope that although they will embark on different paths, the knowledge and skills they have accumulated during their studies at VJIT will be an important foundation for the graduates to build solid careers.

"Especially as relations between Vietnam and Japan continue to develop, I believe you will become a bridge between the two countries, contributing to a bright future for both nations. I wish you the best in utilizing your abilities and achieving even greater success," Mr. Ono Masuo emphasized.

At the event, Hutech also announced its decision to award an honorary doctorate to Mr. Fujishima Yasuyuki - Co-founder and Senior Advisor of VJIT, who has built a solid foundation for educational cooperation between Hutech and its Japanese partner organizations. The decision to award an honorary doctorate expresses the university's deep gratitude for his valuable contributions.

Reportedly, nearly 400 new graduates and engineers receiving their diplomas from the Vietnam-Japan program on this occasion come from various fields with high demand for human resources in Japanese businesses, including Economics - Management, Technology - Engineering, and Marketing - Communication.

Built with a modern approach, the Vietnam-Japan program ensures both specialized knowledge and professional skills, applying methods from KIT and leading Japanese universities.

Students learn using the CDIO (Concept Visualization - Design Concept - Implement Concept - Operate Concept) method, emphasizing Design Thinking in subjects similar to those of KIT students to develop the ability to identify and solve practical problems – a skill highly valued in Japanese companies. Simultaneously, students receive Japanese language training equivalent to N3 level with a team of highly qualified instructors, ensuring they can effectively participate in corporate culture training courses, modules with KIT students, and workshops with professional recruiters.

In addition to enjoying a modern academic program, VJIT students also participate in a variety of extracurricular activities such as cultural festivals; exchange sessions with students, leaders of business associations, provincial leaders, and economic organizations in Japan; and workshops and seminars.

The 3-6 month internship program in Japanese companies or Japanese companies in Vietnam is also a highlight, offering students the opportunity to gain practical experience and develop their professional skills directly with Japanese experts.

Nguyen Thi Quyen, a top graduate ahead of schedule and the valedictorian of the Business Administration program in Vietnam-Japan, shared: “I am proud to say that if it wasn't VJIT Hutech, it couldn't have been anywhere else. Today, looking back on the long journey we've taken, we can confidently say we are ‘Strong in our field - proficient in Japanese,’ ready to work in a Japanese business environment.”

Quyen also shared a message with her classmates, reminding them that each graduate today has had their own journey of effort, possesses unique values, and will undoubtedly shine in their own way, through their maturity, confidence, and the foundations they have built.
