The Ho Chi Minh Vocational College of Technology commenced their project, the Technical English Club, on March 16th, 2014. Organized by the HEEAP 2013 female group, the Technical English Club opened their first seminar on April 12th, and will continually open every Sunday. The purpose of the English Club is to establish a strong relationship between confidence and accuracy when conversing or speaking in a large group. Certain practices require the students to be participating in a mock situation where they will have to use English to convey their message.

On May 17th, 2014, the female HEEAP 2013 cohort from HVCT organized an exchange seminar between industry and students to compare the needs of foreign language and informatics knowledge with the needs of employers. This was a great opportunity for students to learn about the needs, as well as the requirements of employers. 

On 12th April, 2014, the female HEEAP 2013 cohort from HVCT organized a seminar on engineering design in instruction. This was a great opportunity for the HEEAP alumni to share their knowledge on innovative teaching methods to their colleagues.
