STC launches its first Korean language course.

At the opening ceremony, the students were introduced to Seoul Technical College and STC Korean Language & Business Academy.

STC Korean Language & Business Academy is a collaborative program for Korean language and business Korean training between the University of Social Sciences and Humanities and Seoul National College of Technology (South Korea), based on an official agreement signed between the two institutions in May 2018. STC aims not only to build a foundation in language, competence, and work skills for Vietnamese workers – young people wishing to study abroad or work in Korean companies – but also to connect with Korean businesses to find job opportunities for students after the course. The instructors are Korean professors and lecturers from the University of Social Sciences and Humanities. Directors of several Korean businesses also directly participate in teaching and career guidance for students.

The instructors introduced the training program at the opening ceremony.

At the opening ceremony, students received advice from Korean and Vietnamese instructors on effective ways to learn Korean and shared experiences of studying and working at Korean companies. The professors emphasized that language plays a crucial role in understanding culture and building good relationships with colleagues at work. To succeed in mastering a foreign language, students must be truly determined, study diligently, and have a proactive attitude. The cultural similarities between Vietnam and Korea, and the increasing presence of Korean businesses in Vietnam, have made jobs at Korean companies more attractive than ever for young Vietnamese people. STC will provide maximum support to ensure students have the best learning conditions, not only through textbooks and classroom learning but also through extracurricular activities exploring Korean culture.
