Supporting the development of Vietnamese spatial designers for the Japanese market while creating new cross-border career opportunities between Vietnam and Japan.

Union Tec Vietnam Co., Ltd., the Vietnam subsidiary of Union Tec Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yusuke Okawa), held a partnership signing ceremony with Duy Tan University and the Vietnam-Japan Institute of Engineering and Technology (VJIET) on June 5, 2026, to establish a collaborative human resource development program.

The partnership aims to provide students from Duy Tan University and VJIET with practical experience in Japan's interior and spatial design industry while nurturing the next generation of spatial designers who can build successful careers in both Vietnam and Japan.

Union Tec Vietnam has long supported Japanese clients through architectural CG rendering and spatial design services. Through this collaboration with Duy Tan University and VJIET, the company will further invest in developing young professionals with both Japanese language proficiency and design expertise, creating new career pathways that connect Vietnam and Japan.

Background

Guided by its mission, "Build a New Standard," the Union Tec Group provides comprehensive planning, design, and construction services for offices and commercial spaces. Since its establishment, Union Tec Vietnam has primarily supported Japanese clients through architectural CG rendering and spatial design services.

Vietnam is home to many talented young people who study Japanese and aspire to build careers with Japanese companies or work in Japan. At the same time, Japan's interior and spatial design industry is increasingly seeking global talent and stronger collaboration with overseas production bases.

Against this backdrop, Union Tec Vietnam has partnered with Duy Tan University and VJIET to launch an internship and talent development program that enables students to gain hands-on experience on projects closely aligned with real-world Japanese design practice while still enrolled at university.

By combining Japanese language education, design education, and on-the-job training (OJT) through actual client projects, the program aims to cultivate spatial designers capable of building successful careers not only in Vietnam but also in Japan.

Partnership Overview

Under this partnership, Union Tec Vietnam will provide internship opportunities and practical educational programs for students from Duy Tan University and VJIET.
The collaboration will focus on the following initiatives:

Practical Experience in Japan's Interior and Spatial Design Industry

Students will gain hands-on experience through projects for Japanese clients handled by Union Tec Vietnam. These opportunities will allow them to learn the practical workflow of spatial design, architectural CG rendering, and presentation material development.

Developing Professionals with Japanese Language and Design Skills

By integrating VJIET's Japanese language education, Duy Tan University's design curriculum, and on-the-job training (OJT) through Union Tec Vietnam's real-world projects, the program will help students develop both the communication skills and professional expertise required to work with Japanese companies.

Internship and Future Employment Opportunities

Based on each student's skills, career aspirations, and internship performance, the program aims to create employment opportunities at either Union Tec Vietnam or Union Tec Co., Ltd. in Japan.

The program will begin with a small group of participants in its first year and will continue to evolve through ongoing evaluation and improvement, establishing a sustainable model for talent development.

Supporting Cross-Border Career Development

The partnership will help young Vietnamese professionals gain practical experience in Japan's spatial design industry while supporting the development of long-term careers that span both Vietnam and Japan.

Signing Ceremony

The signing ceremony was attended by representatives from Duy Tan University, VJIET, and Union Tec Vietnam, who reaffirmed their shared vision for the future direction of the talent development program.

During the ceremony, Union Tec Vietnam introduced its architectural CG rendering and spatial design services for Japanese clients, as well as the practical work experience and internship opportunities available to participating students.

Representatives from Duy Tan University and VJIET also shared their educational vision for cultivating professionals who can serve as bridges between Japan and Vietnam, while expressing their expectations for deeper collaboration with Japanese companies.

Moving forward, the partners will gradually implement the program by recruiting and selecting students, designing internship curricula, and providing on-the-job training (OJT) through actual client projects.

Comment from Union Tec Vietnam

"Union Tec Vietnam has steadily expanded its business by providing architectural CG rendering services for clients in Japan. Looking ahead, we aim to go beyond CG production and expand into higher-value services such as spatial design and presentation support.

This partnership with Duy Tan University and VJIET represents a valuable opportunity for young Vietnamese talent to gain firsthand experience in Japan's professional design industry, while also serving as a new model for talent development and recruitment for our company.

We hope to work together with the university to create new career pathways that enable Vietnamese designers with both Japanese language proficiency and design expertise to build successful careers in Vietnam and Japan."
