From the very early days of the university’s establishment (11 November 1994), the Board of Trustees and the University Administrative Board recognized their responsibility in supporting students who wished to find administrative and part-time jobs. From their dedication, mindset, and strategic vision in the field of education and training, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and the University Administrative Board issued Decision No. 598/QĐ-ĐHDT on January 4, 1999, regarding the establishment of the Center for Guidance and Employment Services under the authority of the Board of Trustees and the University Administrative Board.

On May 31, 2016, the University issued Decision No. 1291/QĐ-ĐHDT establishing the Startup Center directly under the University. Collaboration between universities and enterprises plays an important role in fostering a knowledge-based economy, as it promotes innovation, creativity, technology transfer, and strengthens the connection between research activities and production and business operations within enterprises. Recognizing this importance, the university has defined cooperation with the purpose of serving students, supporting training and research, supporting accreditation, enhancing student recruitment, and strengthening ties with local authorities.

In 2017, the Center for Enterprise Cooperation & Employment Promotion was upgraded to the Office of Enterprise Cooperation & Technology Transfer (according to Decision No. 1966/QĐ-ĐHDT dated July 5, 2017). In light of new developments and restructuring trends, on April 18, 2022, the Startup Center (originally established under Decision No. 1291/QĐ-ĐHDT dated May 31, 2016) was merged into the Office of Enterprise Cooperation and renamed the Office of Enterprise Cooperation & Startup Support (according to Decision No. 1302/QĐ-ĐHDT dated April 18, 2022). Since then, the Office has been assigned the additional function of organizing activities that foster and promote the entrepreneurial spirit among students.
