High-level personnel agree to work at the university not only for the income but also for many other factors that enable them to develop professionally. To retain such a workforce, the university needs to ensure a good working environment, flexible policies, and mechanisms, as well as invest in modern equipment for research. The leadership of Nguyen Tat Thanh University also emphasizes the need for employees to see opportunities for advancement and the creation of a humanistic, cohesive culture in the workplace.

This is achieved through organizing domestic and international scientific conferences and workshops, attracting the participation of many scientists, researchers, and industry experts from various fields to exchange and share experiences, lessons learned, especially new technologies. The university regularly collaborates with international universities to organize academic exchanges and interactions between lecturers and students.
