“DTU is a well-known university that we’ve always wanted to work with,” said Mr. Truong Anh Tu. “Through our partnership, we will inform students about career opportunities and requirements at our company on graduation, in both our manufacturing and business divisions. We also hope that we will be able to explore other ways of collaborating in the near future.”
