Students of the Faculty of Civil Engineering Gain Practical Experience at the Hanoi–Quang Ninh High-Speed Railway Project
Recently, at the invitation of Trung Chinh Trading and Construction Co., Ltd., lecturers and students from the Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Transport Technology (UTT) participated in a field trip to the Hanoi–Quang Ninh high-speed railway project together with the Company.
At exactly 7:00 a.m., the Company's vehicle picked up the delegation at the University gate and transported them to visit and work at the Company's headquarters. The delegation was welcomed by Mr. Nguyen Duy Thang – Deputy General Director, Mr. Vu The Long – Deputy Director of the Railway Center, and Mr. Tran Lam – Head of the Human Resources Department. During the working session, the delegation was introduced to the Company's organizational structure, development history, outstanding achievements, and major ongoing projects, thereby providing students with practical insights into the corporate environment and business operations.
Deputy General Director Nguyen Duy Thang introduces the Company and its projects
Questions raised by lecturers and students regarding employment opportunities, remuneration policies, and opportunities for further education were thoroughly addressed by Mr. Nguyen Duy Thang and Mr. Tran Lam. In particular, topics of great interest to final-year students, such as internship policies at the Company, career development pathways, and employment opportunities after graduation, were clearly, practically, and convincingly explained by Mr. Thang.
Internship policies and career development pathways
The delegation's next destination was the Duong River Overpass Bridge project, located approximately 35 km east of the Company's headquarters. This is a key project on the Hanoi–Quang Ninh high-speed railway line, currently under construction by the Company. At the construction site, the delegation directly explored the project's scale, construction processes, and technical solutions being implemented to ensure quality, safety, and project progress.
Under the intense summer heat, the dedication of engineers, workers, and laborers diligently working at the construction site left a strong impression on both lecturers and students. Sharing with the delegation, Engineer Bach Van Tuan – Deputy Director of the Project Management Board and an alumnus of the University – affirmed that the unit is mobilizing maximum resources and is determined to complete the project on schedule, contributing to the early operation of the project in support of the region's socio-economic development.

At around 11:30 a.m., the site visit concluded. In a warm and friendly atmosphere, resembling that of a family gathering, during the lunch hosted by the Company, engineers at the construction site continued to answer students' questions, concerns, and aspirations. The record-breaking heat of Hanoi could not diminish their passion for people and dedication to their profession.
The field trip provided lecturers and students with valuable practical experiences, helping bridge the gap between academic knowledge and real-world construction environments. It was not only an opportunity for students to gain a deeper understanding of their future careers but also contributed to strengthening their motivation for learning, self-improvement, and personal development. The Faculty of Civil Engineering sincerely appreciates the thoughtful hospitality, enthusiastic support, and valuable sharing from Trung Chinh Trading and Construction Co., Ltd., which contributed significantly to the success of this programme.
