Opening Ceremony of the Korean Language Course for Samsung Electronics Employees

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Lee Choel Ku stated that Samsung Electronics has invested in Bac Ninh since 2008 and Thai Nguyen since 2013, and currently employs over 110,000 people. The company has achieved significant success, making substantial contributions to the economic and social development of Vietnam in general, and Bac Ninh and Thai Nguyen provinces in particular. With over US$26 billion in exports in 2014, Samsung contributed 18% of the country's total export turnover. To achieve this success, in its business strategy, alongside technological innovation, Samsung has always focused on building a team of outstanding employees with high qualifications and effective work skills, aiming for long-term sustainable development. Therefore, Samsung began implementing a Korean language training course for its elite employees at the University in early 2014, and for the University of Social Sciences and Humanities specifically, today's opening ceremony marks the third course of cooperation between the two institutions. Mr. Lee Choel Ku hopes that the course will contribute to improving communication effectiveness, breaking down language barriers between the two sides, and helping students to effectively utilize their Korean language skills, thereby enhancing their work efficiency.

Mr. Lee Choel Ku delivered a speech at the ceremony.

Associate Professor Pham Quang Minh stated that the University of Social Sciences and Humanities has relationships with many corporations and companies, but these relationships are still quite modest. The presence of the Vice General Director and staff of Samsung Electronics is an important addition to the University's training and research work because training must be closely linked to and serve practical needs, especially aiming to train high-quality personnel to serve modernization and industrialization. Therefore, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities is very pleased to cooperate with Samsung Electronics to train high-quality human resources in the field of Korean language. This is a very important task to help the University fulfill its mission of serving the development of the country. The Vice Rector also acknowledged that the University of Social Sciences and Humanities has collaborated well with Samsung Electronics in successfully completing previous Korean language training and teaching programs. During the second training course in Bac Ninh, all of Samsung's outstanding employees in Bac Ninh were able to master Korean language skills and communicate very well with Korean staff, and they truly had a very enjoyable time at the school.

Associate Professor Pham Quang Minh expressed his gratitude to Samsung Electronics.

During this course, trainees are expected to maximize their potential, strive for the best possible results, adhere to all regulations of the School and the company, and live up to the trust and expectations of the management.
