NeoTECH EnglishWorks aims to strengthen English proficiency and professional skills for students in engineering and technology fields, especially semiconductors, artificial intelligence (AI), automation, and information technology. The program comes at a time when the labor market demands engineers who are not only technically strong but also able to keep their knowledge current and to communicate and work internationally. Through the program, English shifts from being a school subject to an essential tool that prepares students for global integration.
The NeoTECH EnglishWorks 2026–2027 program officially launches at Hanoi University of Industry, beginning a journey that connects ten universities with U.S. partners and businesses.
By taking part in the program, TLU students will not only improve their English but also develop essential skills for international environments, including communication, presentation, teamwork, and problem-solving. In the 2026–2027 academic year, a group of Automation Engineering students from the Faculty of Electrical and Electronic Engineering will directly participate in the program’s activities. This is an opportunity for them to experience a modern learning environment, strengthen their English for specific purposes, and prepare to enter the labor market in high-tech industries.

The launch of NeoTECH EnglishWorks 2026–2027 marks an important step forward in education cooperation between Vietnam and the United States and strengthens connections between technical universities and businesses. From a network of ten universities to the involvement of U.S. partners and industry, the program creates more links between language skills, technical expertise, and the workplace, so that learners can go further from the foundation built in the lecture hall. Through the program, Thuyloi University continues to affirm its commitment to training a high-quality workforce with solid expertise, strong foreign language skills, and the ability to adapt to the growing demands of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and digital transformation.
