In his remarks, Prof. Jean-Marc Lavest emphasized that USTH regards enterprises as important partners in the development and continuous improvement of its training programmes. He expressed his hope that Synergie Cad Vietnam would share recommendations from an industry perspective, helping the University further enhance its academic programmes and ensure that students are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and professional competencies required by the labour market.
Prof. Jean-Marc Lavest also expressed his expectation that the two parties would strengthen cooperation in providing internship opportunities for students, sharing job opportunities with graduates, and developing cooperation activities linked to the practical needs of the company.
Representatives of Synergie Cad Vietnam said the company wished to strengthen the recruitment of USTH students, particularly in fields such as Chemistry, Materials Science, and related engineering disciplines. They also highly appreciated USTH’s training programmes and expressed their expectation that cooperation with the University would contribute to cultivating highly qualified talent with solid professional expertise to support the company’s development.
USTH and Synergie Cad Vietnam will jointly implement a range of activities, including the organization of short-term student visits; internship opportunities for students for a period of three to six months; engagement of company experts in teaching, training, and student-related activities such as workshops and seminars; sharing of job opportunities with students; joint organization of and participation in job fairs and career-oriented events; collaboration in curriculum development to enhance alignment between academic training and industry needs; and other exchange activities as agreed upon by both parties.
Through these activities, USTH students will have opportunities to gain direct exposure to the working environment and operational processes of an enterprise in the electronics manufacturing sector. Such experience will help students consolidate their academic knowledge, develop practical skills, and better understand professional requirements in an industrial setting.
