DTU met with the Saigon Hi-Tech Park
Training Center on October 11th to discuss expanding their
partnership in training and skills development. Attendees included Dr. Nguyen
Minh Thanh, the SHTP Director, Distinguished Teacher Le Cong Co, the DTU
Provost and President, DTU lecturers and staff.
Dr
Nguyen Minh Thanh gives an overview of the SHTP Training center
Dr. Nguyen Minh Thanh briefly
overviewed the mission of the SHTP Training center, one of three divisions of
SHTP, established in 2006. In addition to conducting research and establishing
local and international training partnerships, SHTP also focuses on improving
the skills of the workforce to meet the requirements of Ho Chi Minh City and
other provinces.
Dr. Nguyen Minh Thanh stated: “We
highly appreciate the recent developments at DTU, especially as DTU has now
become the first Vietnamese private university to offer PhD degrees. Through
transfer programs with other universities, DTU will now be able to provide
highly-qualified graduates to local IT companies.” He confirmed that
DTU could also be a potential partner and proposed to collaborate with DTU in
IT training and research. In particular, courses in Microsoft’s products will
now be incorporated into the DTU IT curricula and a Microsoft testing center
will be established at DTU to serve the Central Region.
Distinguished
Teacher Lê Công Co addresses the meeting
On behalf of DTU, Distinguished
Teacher Le Cong Co said: “Currently, DTU has a representative office and
e-Learning training center in Ho Chi Minh City. DTU students are admired for
their professional knowledge and skills. Ninety percent of DTU IT students get
jobs on graduation, which motivates DTU to expand its training programs to
other provinces around the country”.
In the near future, the two parties
will meet again about establishing a permanent relationship.
