FPT to get 500 employees working for Honda by 2020

On June 23, FPT Chairman Truong Gia Binh and some representatives of FPT Japan had a meeting with Honda Techno Ford (HTFT) to review the bilateral cooperation and make next plans.

The two sides reviewed the activities being carried out and emerging issues. Accordingly, HTFT hoped that FPT would nominate many skilled members as planned, confirm a periodic increase in personnel as well as focus on human resources training.

According to Mr. Binh, FPT was now focusing on Digital Services. For HTFT, it planned an increase in personnel from now to 2020. 30% of them would be FPT employees, equivalent to 500 people.

The goal that the two sides share would be reflected in three factors: quality, delivery and human resources model. HTFT expected that FPT would help the company in building its business orientation in Vietnam.

Earlier, FPT Software also signed an agreement with Honda Techno Ford to establish an Offshore Development Center (ODC) specializing in Engineering - CAD/CAE in Hanoi named Honda Techno Ford ODC.

Honda Techno Ford ODC was founded exactly a year after the two sides started their official cooperation. In 2015, Mr. Kazunori Wantanabe, CEO of Honda Techno Ford visited FPT and worked with some leaders of FPT and FPT Software on bilateral cooperation opportunities in the field of CAD/CAE and proposed opening of ODC.
