Mr. Hara Motoyoshi, representing Tokai Building Maintenance Company, expresses the company’s commitment to serving as a bridge for TVU students to study and work in Japan. The company proposes collaborating with TVU to develop and launch Japanese language classes in Tra Vinh province.

The meeting culminates in signing an agreement between TVU and Tokai Building Maintenance Company. This partnership aims to develop a comprehensive training program and introduce new Japanese language classes in Tra Vinh.  Victory Center for Information Technology and Foreign Languages is set to host these upcoming courses.

This initiative aligns with TVU’s ongoing efforts to internationalize its curriculum and provide students with global opportunities. By offering Japanese language education, TVU equips its students with valuable skills to enhance their competitiveness in the global job market, particularly in Japan’s growing economy.

The collaboration also reflects the increasing demand for Japanese language skills in Vietnam, driven by strong economic ties between the two countries and Japan’s position as a major investor in Vietnam. As Japanese companies continue to expand their presence in Vietnam, proficiency in Japanese becomes an increasingly valuable asset for Vietnamese graduates.

This partnership between Tra Vinh University and Tokai Building Maintenance Company represents a significant step in bridging educational and cultural gaps between Vietnam and Japan. It promises to open new doors for TVU students, offering them enhanced language skills, international exposure, and potentially lucrative career opportunities in Japan.
