Statistics from the city Software Association showed that only 600 of 3,000 IT students meet the requirements of local software companies after graduating last year.

Nguyen Thi Ly, headmaster of Thu Duc College of Technology, noted that as many as 300 of the school’s graduates had been placed by the Department to work in Japan and all of them are excited about the high rate of pay they earn.
