On February 19, the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) cooperating with Hanoi University of Civil Engineering (NUCE), Da Nang University of Science and Technology and the University of Science and Technology – National University of HCMC co-organized "Job Matching 2022 – A virtual job fair in collaboration with Japan construction companies” for Engineering majors.

 Attending the program, on the Japanese side, there were Mr. Hiroaki HAGIWARA - Director of the International Market Department (Department of Real Estate Economic Construction, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism of Japan), Oriental Consultant Company with 15 construction companies.

 On the Vietnamese side, there were Assoc.Prof.Dr. Nguyen Hoang Giang - Vice President of NUCE, representatives of 19 Vietnamese universities and colleges and nearly 300 students from attending institutions.

Mr. Vice President expressed his jubilance and gratefulness to all participants for their whole-hearted support and assistance in his opening speech.

And this year, following the success of the previous collaboration, this 5th program has timely matched the recruitment information with job seekers of Japanese enterprises and Vietnamese engineers in the context of revival after the COVID pandemic in both nations.

Students take advantages of this Job Matching Program to define their job orientation and get access to job opportunities early and proactively. In addition, young engineers get accustomed to the practical interview process with employers.

Higher educational institutions take this precious opportunity to review their training systems, promote the training of qualified students in order to meet the increasing demands of society, and at the same time contribute to the development of the country. In particular, engineers not only devote their talents to companies but also serve as a bridge between Vietnamese and Japanese units in order to strengthen the friendly cooperation relationship between the two countries.

Speaking of the main content of the program, breakrooms were created. In each room, enterprises introduce their company and students ask questions to employers clarifying job descriptions and benefits. Afterward, students send their CVs and have further discussions with company interested via Pre-Entry managed by organizers.
