These donated devices will be used in the practical training workshops of the Faculty of Transportation and Energy, enabling students to directly access the structure, operating principles, and technologies of modern automotive systems. Through this, students can not only reinforce their theoretical knowledge but also enhance their practical skills and professional competencies during their studies.

For HCM-UTE-one of the key technical training institutions in southern Vietnam—the support from Ford Vietnam helps strengthen learning and practical training conditions for students in Automotive Engineering Technology. Access to real industry equipment and technologies allows students to better understand the structure and technologies of modern vehicles, thereby improving their ability to adapt to professional working environments after graduation.

Ford Vietnam’s partnership not only contributes to improving the quality of education but also opens up opportunities for students to participate in internships, specialized training programs, and career opportunities within Ford’s dealership network. This collaboration also demonstrates HCM-UTE’s strategic direction in strengthening partnerships with industry and aligning education with the practical demands of the labor market.

In the coming time, HCM-UTE and Ford Vietnam expect to further expand cooperation in training, research, and technology transfer, contributing to the development of high-quality technical human resources for Vietnam’s automotive industry.
