Willas Vietnam Signs Strategic MOU with University of Transport and Communications (UTC)

On July 4, 2025, Willas Electronic Vietnam Co., Ltd. signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the University of Transport and Communications (UTC), marking an important milestone in strengthening collaboration between industry and academia.

The strategic partnership aims to promote practical education, technical knowledge sharing, research activities, and career opportunities while contributing to the development of high-quality human resources for Vietnam’s electronics and engineering industries.

Strengthening Industry-Academia Collaboration

As a company specializing in electronic component distribution, Willas Vietnam is committed to working closely with technical universities to connect academic knowledge with real-world industry applications.

The MOU with the University of Transport and Communications reflects Willas Vietnam’s commitment to supporting technical education and helping develop a new generation of engineers with both strong theoretical foundations and practical skills.

The signing ceremony brought together representatives and senior leaders from both organizations, establishing a foundation for long-term cooperation in education, technology, research, and human resource development.

Key Areas of Cooperation

Under the MOU, Willas Vietnam and the University of Transport and Communications will collaborate on several initiatives designed to enhance students’ technical knowledge, practical experience, and career readiness.

Supporting Education with Electronic Kits and Learning Materials

One of the key areas of cooperation is Willas Vietnam’s support for teaching, learning, and research activities at the university.

Willas Vietnam will provide:

• Electronic kits and sample circuit boards to support teaching, practical training, and research.
• Electronic components and sample products, giving students opportunities to gain hands-on experience with real-world technologies.
• Technical textbooks and learning materials covering topics such as microcontrollers, power circuits, and applied electronics.

By providing access to practical components and technologies, the partnership will help students better connect theoretical concepts with real engineering applications.

Organizing Technical Seminars and Innovation Activities

Willas Vietnam and UTC will also collaborate on technical seminars, workshops, and engineering innovation activities for students.

These programs will provide opportunities to explore topics related to industrial electronics, electronic components, circuit design, programming, and emerging technologies.

The two organizations also plan to support technical competitions and creative engineering projects, encouraging students to apply their knowledge to practical challenges.

These activities can help students develop problem-solving abilities, technical thinking, teamwork, and innovation skills while gaining a better understanding of industry requirements.

Expanding Internship and Career Opportunities

Another important component of the MOU is the development of stronger connections between education and employment.

Through the partnership, senior students will have opportunities to apply for internships at Willas Vietnam or companies within its partner network. These opportunities can provide valuable exposure to professional working environments and real-world business practices.

After graduation, qualified students may also have opportunities to pursue career and employment positions that match their technical backgrounds and professional interests.

This approach creates a stronger bridge between university education and the labor market while enabling businesses to connect with promising young talent at an early stage.

Willas Vietnam’s Commitment to Technical Talent Development

Speaking at the signing ceremony, Mr. Alex Chan, General Director of Willas Electronic Vietnam Co., Ltd., emphasized that Willas aims to become a long-term partner of the university.

The company’s commitment extends beyond providing equipment and learning materials. Willas Vietnam seeks to support students throughout their learning journey by helping them develop practical skills, gain industry knowledge, and better understand potential career pathways.

The company believes that stronger collaboration between businesses and educational institutions can contribute significantly to improving the quality of technical education and preparing young engineers for the demands of Vietnam’s rapidly developing industrial sector.

UTC and Willas Vietnam Promote Practical, Industry-Oriented Education

Representing the University of Transport and Communications, Ms. Bui Thi Giang, Deputy Head of the Department of International Cooperation and Research & Development, expressed her appreciation for Willas Vietnam’s active support and commitment to collaboration.

The university considers industry partnerships an important part of its efforts to make education more closely aligned with real-world market demands.

Through access to practical equipment, technical resources, industry knowledge, internships, and career opportunities, students can gain a more comprehensive learning experience and develop skills relevant to their future careers.
