Not everyone can determine their future path from the beginning, and Truong Cat Hiep is no exception. After graduating from high school, Hiep set a goal to enter the Army Officer School 1, but the results were not as expected. After that, Hiep was disoriented, not knowing what to continue pursuing. It was his mother who suggested to Hiep the vocational study abroad program in Germany, a promising direction with the opportunity to access advanced education in Europe.
Hiep and his family decided to choose SHD Academy as their companion on their journey to study construction in Germany. After 1 year of studying German and equipping themselves with solid knowledge at SHD, Hiep officially registered on the flight to Germany on December 7, 2020, embarking on the journey of studying and working at BiW Construction Group with a high spirit of determination.
