This event holds special significance as it welcomes the new Rector of the Ho Chi Minh City University of Architecture (UAH), and also provides an opportunity for both sides to discuss long-term cooperation directions in the future.
Accordingly, CC1 is committed not only to partnering with UAH University through scholarship programs for students, but also to proactively coordinating the implementation of internship programs, site visits, and many practical academic activities.
These efforts aim to provide students with opportunities to access a professional working environment, accumulate practical experience, and hone their professional skills. This forms the foundation for creating generations of dynamic, creative young engineers with the confidence and knowledge to conquer key infrastructure projects, contributing to the advancement of national strategic projects.
During the exchange, Mr. Phan Huu Duy Quoc – Chairman of the Board of Directors of CC1 – emphasized the company's more than 46 years of sustained development, marked by over 1,000 national-scale projects. He also affirmed CC1's overarching strategic direction: sustainable development coupled with social responsibility and practical contributions to the community, thereby further solidifying CC1's pioneering role in creating national strategic infrastructure.
Associate Professor, Dr. Architect Pham Trong Thuat – Rector of the University – expressed his appreciation for the support and partnership of CC1, and emphasized the University's orientation to continue strengthening the connection between training and practice, in which cooperation with leading enterprises like CC1 will be an important foundation to improve the quality of human resources for the construction industry and society.
In line with the spirit of the Resolution of the 13th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam, building a modern and synchronized infrastructure system is identified as one of the three strategic breakthroughs for sustainable national development.
The goal by 2030, with a vision to 2045, is to gradually establish a national infrastructure framework, while prioritizing the development of key sectors such as energy, information technology, major cities, and especially environmental protection infrastructure and climate change adaptation.
In line with that strategic vision, and as a leading construction contractor in Vietnam, CC1 has concretized it through strong investment in human resources, application of science and technology, and expansion of international cooperation.
Over the years, CC1 has dedicated significant effort and resources to supporting students, the future engineers of the country. In September 2025, CC1 collaborated with Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology to hold the opening ceremony for the intensive training program "High-Speed Rail - Urban Rail". Mr. Phan Huu Duy Quoc affirmed CC1's long-term commitment through scholarship programs, specialized seminars, on-site internships, and opportunities to directly participate in key national projects.
In the next phase, CC1 will continue to expand cooperation with specialized universities nationwide, forming a team of elite engineers to meet the increasingly high demands of infrastructure development in the context of the country entering a period of strong transformation, moving towards an era of integration and development.
CC1's partnership with the University of Architecture Ho Chi Minh City (UAH) is a testament to the company's persistent efforts and dedication in developing high-quality human resources. With a long-term vision, CC1 not only cultivates knowledge and inspires aspirations but also builds a solid foundation for the next generation of young engineers – the pioneering force contributing to the creation of a modern, integrated, and sustainable infrastructure for Vietnam.
