Specifically, with the Japanese Language Proficiency Program, students graduating from Dong A University are optionally enrolled in Japanese Language School of DBC of LEOC Group or other Japanese language schools throughout Japan for 1 or 2 years to achieve Japanese skills to N2. Previously, students will receive 6 months Japanese N3 competency test preparation course for free.

During their study in Japan, students are introduced by LEOC to part-time positions in the Group's system to practice their skills as well as to ensure cost of living in Japan. In addition, each year LEOC will send experts directly to instruct the special Japanese culture classes, organizational and working culture in Japanese companies for students of Dong A University.

At the same time, the professional work program in Japan also opens the door for graduates of Dong A University, especially students of Nursing, IT, Electrical Engineering - Electronics Technology, Business Administration, Hotel and Restaurant Management, who have Japanese language skill of N2. Many have become full-time employees at LEOC's service chain and its partners in Japan.

The newly signed strategic cooperation agreement will last until 2022 with the goal of bringing at least 1,000 Dong A University students to LEOC Group after graduation. This cooperation is also expected to help Vietnamese students bring their knowledge and skills learned in Japan to work directly in the system that LEOC is developing in Vietnam, or in Japanese businesses, which are investing in Vietnam.
