Dr. Dong Van Ngoc, principal of Hanoi College of Electromechanics, said this is the first year the school has applied this program to all engineering and agricultural students from the first year.

Specifically, starting from the 2024-2025 school year, students in these majors will participate in study and internship sessions at businesses in their major. Each session lasts 3 months/year and students will be paid monthly.

The school has completed signing contracts with partner businesses to implement this program. The businesses commit that students studying and interning at the business will be paid 10-12 million VND/month. In addition, the business will provide accommodation and meals for the students.

Mr. Ngoc believes that in addition to the benefits of learning industrial style, corporate culture, working skills, etc. early on, students also benefit financially. Specifically, according to him, each 3-month period of study and internship at a business each year, students earn from 30-36 million VND.

Meanwhile, the school's tuition for engineering and agriculture is 18 million VND/year. "This means that during the program, students can pay their own tuition and have extra money to cover their living expenses," said Mr. Ngoc.

In addition, students who want to work in Japan will go to Japan for an internship for 1 year (in the second year).

Students are guaranteed accommodation, insurance, food and living expenses by Japanese companies and also receive a salary of about 180 million VND after 1 year of studying and interning in Japan.

New students will be consulted and registered to study Japanese immediately after entering school. After the first year, they will go to Japan to study and intern at a business. In the third year, they will return to Hanoi College of Electromechanics to study and graduate.

"To implement these programs, the school signs cooperation agreements with businesses to create specific funding sources for students. The biggest goal is to create more advantages for those who choose to study a trade, so that they can practice their skills early, earn income while studying, and open up more job opportunities after graduation," Mr. Ngoc explained.

In the 2024-2025 school year, Hanoi College of Electromechanics will enroll 35 college majors and 45 intermediate and elementary majors. The enrollment target for college and intermediate students is 3,000 students/year.
