On the morning of October 19, hundreds of junior high and high school students were present at Vo Truong Toan High School (District 12) to attend the opening ceremony of the 2024 Ho Chi Minh City Vocational Education and Training (VET) Admissions and Career Orientation Festival.
The opening ceremony of the 2024 vocational education recruitment and career orientation festival took place on the morning of October 19.
This is an activity jointly organized by the Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs of Ho Chi Minh City and the Department of Education and Training. The series of events will be held at 22 locations (each district and Thu Duc City will organize 1 festival day).
At the festival, 9th grade student BN asked the guidance counselor to tell him that although he studied well in all subjects, he still had not found a career he liked. Career orientation for N. was very vague. The male student was worried about where to start choosing a career, was it too late to choose a career?
Secondary school students excitedly listen to consultants
Many questions were answered by the advisory board right in the program.
Without giving advice right away, psychologist, Master Vo Minh Thanh asked N. some questions in return: Besides going to school, do you participate in other activities, which subject are you most confident in, do you like working in an office or working in an open space, do you like working with machines or with people, are you an introvert or an extrovert, etc.
"Instead of asking students whether they like major A or not, parents and teachers should support students to explore from many different angles. From simple questions about studying, daily activities, and hobbies, students can identify some careers to pursue in the future" - Master Thanh instructed.
Students fill out career surveys.

The festival disseminated information related to career orientation, student orientation after graduation, and information on human resource needs of Ho Chi Minh City and neighboring provinces.
Sharing at the festival, in addition to 3 wishes to register for high school, many 9th grade students hope to have 1-2 more career wishes to increase their learning opportunities.
In addition to asking questions to career experts, students can also visit exhibition booths and learn about careers at secondary schools and colleges in Ho Chi Minh City.
Mr. Le Van Thinh, Director of the Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs, said that in recent years, human resources graduating from vocational schools have contributed greatly to the socio -economic development of the city. Human resources with vocational education qualifications account for a high proportion in the human resource structure of domestic and foreign corporations and companies.
Director of the Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs Le Van Thinh emphasized the role of career orientation and student streaming.
To make vocational education a new direction and an effective choice for students, Mr. Thinh suggested that career consultants fully convey information about job positions and human resource needs of the city in the medium and long term; and advise and orient students on careers based on their abilities and strengths.
As for colleges and secondary schools, they must provide clear advice on training programs, opportunities for advanced study after graduation, and opportunities to participate in training courses and work abroad.
