At the headquarters of Germany's largest semiconductor chip company Infineon in Dresden, the capital of Saxony, Mr. Thanh Long, founder and CEO of GEDU International GmbH and Mr. Raik Brettschneider, Vice President and CEO of Infineon Technologies Dresden, have just signed a letter of intent on cooperation in recruiting young Vietnamese talents for both the dual training program and the direct recruitment program of skilled workers of Infineon.

With this letter of intent, the two partners emphasize the importance of joint initiatives on training and advanced education to meet the future demand for skilled labor.

Witnessing the signing ceremony were Vietnamese Ambassador to the Federal Republic of Germany Vu ​​Quang Minh; Mr. Thomas Kralinski, State Secretary and Chief of Staff of the Ministry of Economics, Labor and Transport of the state of Saxony (Sachsen); and Mr. David Michel, Head of the Department of International Relations and Development Cooperation, Special Envoy of the State President of Saxony.

Speaking at the signing ceremony, Ambassador Vu Quang Minh expressed his delight at the great potential for cooperation between the two companies. The Ambassador emphasized: "This is an important event because through this project, we can cooperate in labor at a much higher technological level. The two governments are also working together to build a new labor cooperation framework to facilitate projects like this."

Mr. Thanh Long, CEO of GEDU International, also shared: “We are very pleased to work alongside Infineon in supporting Vietnamese skilled workers to fully integrate into the host society, moving towards long-term employment after successful training.”

For his part, Raik Brettschneider, CEO of Infineon Dresden, said: “With the expansion of our Dresden site, we are creating new job opportunities that are essential for the production of advanced semiconductor chips. In recent years, we have significantly increased the number of trainees and expect to recruit a large number of trainees internationally in the future. Cooperation like that with GEDU is essential for the integration of our future employees. After three years of training and working with us, trainees not only graduate, but can also start their future careers in a stable manner.”
