Second, within the framework of the Recruitment and Career Orientation Program, the two parties will organize activities such as job fairs, thematic seminars, career talks, and construction site visits. These activities will help students gain a deeper understanding of the labor market and shape their career development pathways.

Third, SOL E&C is committed to accompanying the University in community initiatives, student activities, and key programs of Ho Chi Minh City University of Architecture, contributing to the goal of promoting sustainable education development.
