In the framework of connecting higher education with major industrial enterprises, the Vietnam Aviation Academy (VAA) formalized a comprehensive strategic cooperation agreement with Sun Group.
The signing ceremony brought together executive leadership, academic deans, and senior corporate directors from Sun Group’s core aviation, entertainment, and hospitality divisions. Representing VAA was Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tran Hoai An alongside department heads and faculty members, while Sun Group was represented by senior executive directors across its airline operations, resort infrastructure, and human resources units. The working session established a mutual commitment to bridging academic instruction with real-world enterprise demands, creating structured career pathways for students across multidisciplinary fields.
Opening the formal session, leadership from both organizations underlined the imperative of developing high-caliber human resources capable of meeting international service benchmarks. The collaboration prioritizes reciprocal knowledge exchange, where Sun Group industry specialists participate directly in curriculum consultation, guest lectures, and practical workshops at the academy. In return, VAA tailors academic outcomes to align with modern corporate standards, ensuring graduates possess verified operational capabilities in aviation management, customer service excellence, and resort logistics..
Beyond classroom integration, the agreement creates direct recruitment pipelines, prioritizing VAA students for internships, apprenticeships, and permanent placement within Sun Group’s national network of airports, premium resorts, and specialized aviation ventures like Sun Air. Students gain hands-on operational exposure within high-standard service ecosystems, accelerating their transition from academic study to active professional environments. Both sides also agreed to coordinate on future corporate branding initiatives, industry conferences, and joint applied research projects addressing sustainable tourism and aviation logistics.
The ceremony concluded with the official signing of the Memorandum of Understanding, marking a long-term institutional partnership dedicated to elevating service training standards and advancing Vietnam’s integrated aviation-hospitality economy.
