Enhancing Training Quality Through the Implementation of the Corporate Semester Model
The signing ceremony took place against the backdrop of Vietnam’s rapidly growing tourism industry, which increasingly demands human resources who are not only strong in theoretical knowledge but also possess practical professional competencies and a modern service mindset.

With a diverse ecosystem of accommodation brands that embody strong cultural identity and lifestyle values—such as the Kin Wander system and Kin Hotel system—Kin Group goes beyond providing lodging services to create “inspiring living spaces,” bringing a fresh breeze to Vietnam’s hospitality industry. Backed by a young and professional management team, rigorous service standards, and an open-minded governance philosophy, Kin Group is rapidly expanding its scale, becoming an ideal destination for young hospitality professionals eager to prove themselves in a professional environment.

Through an enterprise-linked training model, students will be equipped with professional knowledge, practical skills, and a modern service mindset—key competencies essential for adapting to the evolving landscape of the tourism and hospitality sectors.
This collaboration not only allows students to gain real-world industry exposure while still in school, but also helps establish a sustainable career development ecosystem. It is considered a strategic step toward narrowing the gap between theory and practice, while fostering a new generation of hospitality professionals capable of meeting both domestic and international labor market standards.
With this collaborative foundation, the partnership is expected to deliver tangible value for learners and make meaningful contributions to the future development of Vietnam’s tourism and hospitality industry.
The Memorandum of Understanding serves as a solid stepping stone for students in Hotel and Restaurant Management at Vietnam Aviation Academy, empowering them to confidently step onto the global stage and meet the most demanding requirements of the domestic and international labor markets.
