“As good as all graduates have a solid knowledge foundation and good theoretical abilities, but their capability to use technology is limited and they do not carefully read documentation or absorb new knowledge,” Mr. Ho Trong Hien said based on his long-time experience. “Their limited foreign language skills furthermore have a large impact on the progression of their work.”
