Japanese construction companies interview students from Civil Engineering Faculty

NTTU – Recently, on December 6, 2024, the Faculty of Civil Engineering welcomed a delegation from Kawazu Construction Joint Stock Company and Daishin Consultant Joint Stock Company (DAISHIN) from Japan for a visit and work session

Associate Professor Dr. Vu Truong Vu, Dean of the Faculty of Civil Engineering, along with several faculty members, welcomed the Japanese delegation, including Mr. Kawazu Shuhei – Director of Kawazu Construction Joint Stock Company, Vice President of the Otaku Construction Association (Tokyo), and Mr. Chau Thai Thuan – Deputy Director of Daishin Consultant Vietnam Co., Ltd.

Discussions between Japanese companies and representatives of the Faculty

At the meeting, the discussion focused on the potential for expanding cooperation in the construction sector, particularly the opportunity to introduce the opportunities to join the labor market in Japan to students .

The two sides had an open professional exchange, aimed at further strengthening the good cooperative relationship between Japanese construction companies and the Faculty of Civil Engineering. During the visit, Mr. Kawazu Shuhei expressed his gratitude for the warm welcome from the Faculty of Civil Engineering of Nguyen Tat Thanh University. He also shared his impressions about the candidates and expressed his desire to enhance the connection between the companies in the Otaku Construction Association and the Faculty, creating opportunities for Japanese companies to meet potential candidates.

Last year, a student from the Faculty of Civil Engineering was recruited to work in Tokyo, marking an important milestone in this cooperative relationship. Building on this success, during the meeting, the companies conducted direct interviews with candidates who are graduates or soon-to-be graduates in order to find suitable candidates for their recruitment needs. This also opened up more job opportunities in Japan for students of Nguyen Tat Thanh University.

The working session and candidate interviews were successful, continuing the collaborative activities initiated from the Memorandum of Understanding in 2023 between Nguyen Tat Thanh University and DAISHIN Company.

With an aging population, Japan is facing a shortage of engineers in the construction industry, leading to an increasing demand for foreign engineers, including those from Vietnam. This presents a valuable opportunity for young engineers graduating from the Faculty, opening up promising career prospects for students of Nguyen Tat Thanh University in the Japanese labor market.
