To date, the unemployment rate among university graduates remains alarmingly high. Furthermore, a significant portion of graduates find employment in fields unrelated to their training. This issue has been and continues to be a major concern for current students. Conversely, businesses, despite facing severe labor shortages, are unable to recruit personnel because they cannot meet the required standards.

Understanding this situation, at Viet My College, students regularly visit, observe, and intern at businesses starting from their first year. 

With a teaching philosophy focused on practical learning and business connections, Viet My College students will participate in internships and practical training from the first semester, integrating hands-on experience into each subject, ensuring up to 70% of their study time is dedicated to practical training. Furthermore, Viet My College is a trusted partner of many companies and economic corporations, acting as a bridge to secure employment opportunities for its students. Business connections are always prioritized in teaching and in supporting students after graduation. The employment rate of graduates, the satisfaction of recruiting companies, and the career advancement opportunities for students are fundamental measures of the quality of education at Viet My College. In 2019, Viet My College was one of the prestigious colleges that received commendation from the Minister of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs for its vocational training programs aligned with business needs, contributing to improving the quality of Vietnam's human resources during the 2017-2019 period.

As a result, according to statistics from the school for four consecutive years, 96.81% of its students have found employment in their field within six months of graduation.

Several businesses collaborate with APC in recruitment and training:
