The story of students who start "training" for a profession early on.

(Baohatinh.vn) - Currently, many students in Ha Tinh choose to work part-time in their field of study, viewing it as a "practical learning experience" to hone their skills, gain experience, and prepare for employment after graduation.

Part-time work is no longer simply a way for students to cover their tuition and living expenses. More and more young people are choosing jobs related to their field of study to gain experience, hone their skills, and proactively prepare themselves before entering the job market.

Instead of choosing a regular job, Khanh Huyen chose to take on part-time tutoring work related to her field of study.

As a second-year student in the Faculty of Education at Ha Tinh University, Nguyen Khanh Huyen quickly realized that theoretical learning needed to be accompanied by practical experience. Therefore, in addition to her classes, Huyen proactively sought tutoring jobs to both hone her skills and earn extra income. Regularly on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings, Huyen tutors elementary and middle school students in Math and English. The work isn't overly demanding, but it requires patience, flexibility in communication, and the ability to understand the psychology of each child.

Khanh Huyen shared: “This job helps me earn extra income to cover my living expenses. More importantly, I've honed my communication skills, learned how to design appropriate lesson plans, and gained a better understanding of student psychology. This is a foundation for me to be more confident and better prepared for my career after graduation.”

Like Khanh Huyen, many other students are also proactively seeking part-time job opportunities related to their majors to gain experience early on.

Nguyen Van Long, a fourth-year student in the Faculty of Foreign Languages ​​at Ha Tinh University, shared: “I personally want to work in my field of study to gain more experience. I believe that with early preparation, students will have an easier time finding suitable jobs after graduation.”

Taking on part-time jobs related to their field of study helps students increase their competitiveness and adaptability to today's job market.

In the field of engineering, Nguyen Huu Chung, a third-year student in the Automotive Technology Department at Ha Tinh College of Technology, quickly recognized the importance of enhancing practical training alongside theoretical learning. After completing an internship at the Toyota Phu Tai Duc Ha Tinh dealership's auto repair shop, facilitated by the school, Chung proactively developed a study plan and sought part-time work related to his major.

Currently, outside of school hours, Chung works at the garage where he interned, assisting with car painting projects. The job requires meticulousness, carefulness, and high discipline, and it also provides him with a valuable practical experience.

Nguyen Huu Chung shared: “After my internship, with the support of the school and especially the connections of senior students, I applied for a job at the garage. My main job is assisting skilled mechanics in the painting process. I always try to observe and understand each step in the repair process to improve my skills. My goal is to accumulate practical experience so that I can adapt to the job faster after graduation.”

Many students have proactively chosen to find part-time jobs related to their major.

The trend of students seeking part-time jobs related to their majors reflects a shift in mindset, as learners are not only focused on accumulating knowledge but also on long-term career value. This is considered a necessary preparation in a labor market that increasingly demands practical skills and real-world experience.

At the Toyota Phu Tai Duc dealership's auto garage in Ha Tinh, many students, after working part-time, have been retained as full-time employees with solid skills and stable incomes. A prime example is Le Duy Manh, who grew from working while studying here. After accumulating skills and adapting to the practical work environment, he was officially hired with an income of approximately 12 million VND per month.

Mr. Manh shared: “I think this was the right choice. Working part-time at the garage since I was a student helped me accumulate a lot of experience. Now, I am quite skilled and have a stable income.”

Through part-time work related to his field, Le Duy Manh accumulated experience and secured a stable job right after graduation.

Not only does it benefit students, the "work-study" model in their chosen field also receives positive feedback from employers.

Mr. Le Khac Long, workshop manager of the bodywork and painting department at the Toyota Phu Tai Duc dealership in Ha Tinh, said: “The company always creates opportunities for students to work while studying. During their internships, they receive direct guidance and reinforce their theoretical knowledge with practical experience. Thanks to early exposure to a real-world environment, many students can quickly adapt to the job after graduation, minimizing the need for retraining. Many students, after working and studying here, have achieved skill levels 3 and 4, earning around 12 million VND per month.”

Actively seeking part-time jobs in their field of study is becoming a popular choice for many students. Not only does it provide additional income, but it also gives young people the opportunity to hone their skills, gain practical experience, and prepare for their careers while still in university. In an increasingly competitive job market, this is considered essential preparation for the future.

The trend of students proactively seeking part-time jobs related to their majors not only has immediate benefits but also reflects a shift in perceptions of learning and career development. Early exposure to real-world environments means that the learning process is no longer separate but becomes interconnected and complementary. Nowadays, businesses not only recruit those with degrees but also highly value practical experience and work ethic. Students who gain early work experience tend to adapt more quickly, be more proactive, and feel less overwhelmed when starting out. This is a clear advantage in the job search process.
