According to data compiled by the Department of Education and Training, in the 2025 High School Graduation Exam, the whole province had 9,352/9,428 12th graders passing the graduation exam, reaching a rate of 99.19%. Of which, 99.72% of 12th graders passed the graduation exam; 96.47% of continuing education students passed the graduation exam. However, passing the high school graduation exam does not mean passing the university entrance exam but is only a necessary condition for admission to universities and colleges. For students who do not pass the university entrance exam or have other orientations, finding new doors such as vocational training, starting a business or studying abroad becomes a top priority.
In recent years, the trend of vocational training has become increasingly popular among students after graduating from high school. The main reason is that they want to have a stable job soon, creating income for themselves and their families because many jobs today do not require high qualifications but have good salaries. Vocational training not only helps students build their economy but also creates opportunities to develop life skills and specialized skills. Even many students, despite having enough points to enter university, still choose to study vocational training or college to have more opportunities to study and work.
Taking her child to complete the admission procedures for the 2025-2026 school year at Lang Son Vocational College, Ms. Hoang Thi Mo, Quoc Khanh commune shared: My child has decided to register to study civil electricity at Lang Son Vocational College. My family and I are very supportive of my child's decision because as soon as he graduates, he will be able to find a job or be recruited immediately. During the course of study, my child will also have a lot of practice at school and have the opportunity to experience real life at businesses and companies instead of just studying theory.
Currently, in the province, in addition to Lang Son Vocational College, there are 2 provincial continuing education centers and 9 continuing education - vocational education centers (GDTX - GDNN). These schools and centers have proactively invested in modern facilities, training programs closely following reality, helping students to have jobs immediately after graduation with stable income. At the same time, these units also actively advise and encourage students to choose careers that suit their interests, abilities and especially the development trends of society. On the other hand, after completing the college program, young people can still continue to study at university level if needed.
Besides the traditional vocational training path, studying abroad and starting a business are also attractive options for many young people with the desire to break through. Studying abroad will open up new horizons of knowledge and culture for you, while starting a business is a journey to turn ideas into reality, creating your own future.
Mr. Hoang Van Dong, Director of Viet Phat Lang Son International Education Development Joint Stock Company, said: Studying abroad is not only an opportunity to access the world's advanced education but also an opportunity for young people to experience new cultures, broaden their horizons and develop themselves comprehensively. We always carefully advise students on the study program, financial conditions and job opportunities after graduation so that they can make the most suitable choice.
It is known that Viet Phat Lang Son International Education Development Joint Stock Company operates in the field of career and study abroad consulting for students who want to go to Japan, Taiwan, Korea and China. In addition to study abroad consulting activities, the company's recruitment office also expands cooperation with Lang Son Provincial Employment Service Center to organize transaction sessions and job consulting.
This activity aims to orient those who wish to learn foreign languages to participate in temporary labor export programs abroad. In the past one to two years, through this coordination, the office has supported a number of qualified young people to work in the above countries under labor programs with contracts.
From 2024 to present, the company has sent more than 1,000 students to study abroad in countries such as Japan, Korea, Taiwan... At the same time, the company also organizes foreign language training courses (Japanese, Taiwanese, Chinese, Korean) with a duration of 5 - 9 months/course.
In particular, in 2023, with the permission of the Department of Education and Training, Viet Phat Foreign Language Center (under the company) has deployed support for teaching Chinese at 3 high schools in the province. In addition, the company also actively implements career guidance and job introduction activities to encourage the spirit of learning foreign languages and orienting students towards career development.
Specifically, from 2022 to present, the company has coordinated with organizations and professional agencies to organize 15 seminars, career counseling and job fairs, attracting more than 1,500 students and workers to participate; organize direct career counseling for studying abroad at more than 50 high schools and vocational education and training centers in the province, reaching more than 1,500 students. Recently, the company has coordinated with Thu Duc University of Science and Technology (Taiwan) to organize direct interviews for students registering to enroll in the school.
In fact, many young people who do not go to university still achieve success in society. Ms. Lam Thi Huong, born in 1997, That Khe commune, after graduating from high school, did not follow the "path" of going to university but chose to study health care and beauty.
Sharing about her decision, Ms. Huong said: At that time, I realized that the beauty market had a lot of potential and I also had a special passion for this job. I believe that the important thing is not having a high degree but being truly passionate, willing to learn and doing the job with all my heart.
With passion and perseverance, Ms. Huong has continuously learned and improved her skills. Initially, she worked in small establishments to gain experience, then continued to participate in specialized courses to improve her skills and update new trends. Thanks to her dedication, ingenuity and constant improvement of service quality, Ms. Lam Thi Huong has gradually built up her reputation with customers. Currently, she has her own beauty care store in That Khe commune with a stable number of customers, bringing in a steady income of 20 to 30 million VND per month.
From this, it can be seen that university is not the only “path” to success. To choose the right path beyond the university gate, young people need to listen to themselves, clearly identify their passion, ability and goals. Moreover, seeking advice from family, teachers and experienced people is extremely necessary to make the wisest decision.
