Enhance your skills and confidence for integration.

The rapid development of the digital economy and the changes in the labor market are creating an urgent need for innovation in educational models. Recognizing this importance, educational institutions, in collaboration with organizations and associations, are developing visually engaging, learner-centered models to help students build a solid foundation of knowledge and confidently integrate into the global community.

• Equipping students with soft skills through the club model.
• Equipping contestants with soft skills ahead of beauty pageants.
• Workshop on leadership, management, and soft skills for female students.
• Over 600 students were equipped with soft skills.

Developing soft skills

Recognizing that in the context of integration, professional competence is a necessary condition, but soft skills are the sufficient condition for young people to meet the demands of the labor market , the Vietnam-Korea Vocational College in Ca Mau has collaborated with Save the Children (SCI) in Vietnam to implement the "Skills for Success" project.

The most recent highlight of the project was a training program on leadership skills and thematic activity organization, held in Bac Lieu ward. The event attracted a large number of students from the Vietnam-Korea Vocational College in Ca Mau and the Ca Mau Community College. The young people participated in physical games and practical challenges to learn about teamwork and information gathering.

Over 2,000 students in Ca Mau have had access to the "Skills for Success" Project.

Ms. Chau Thi Hong Tho, Secretary of the Youth Union of Vietnam-Korea Vocational College in Ca Mau, said: “During the 2024-2026 period, the SCI organization will provide the school with over 3.5 billion VND in funding to implement 11 main activities, including basic to advanced courses such as presentation skills, teamwork, CV writing, etc. After receiving training through online courses, the model will be widely implemented for more than 2,000 students, combined with practical training organized alternately every month, creating a continuous training environment.”

According to Mr. Vu Trung Tuan, SCI Organization Coordinator, the ultimate goal of the project is not just short-term skills but a self-learning mindset. This is the sustainable foundation for young people to continuously improve themselves in various environments.

The core difference of this model lies in its proactive educational mindset. Students are equipped with a complete set of tools, from identifying messages and designing activities to handling real-world situations. Student Tran Huyen Dieu (Seafood Processing and Preservation major, Vietnam-Korea Vocational College, Ca Mau) shared: “I have learned how to behave and communicate information more accurately. Clearly defining my own goals helps me convey content to the audience effectively and easily.”

Student Le Hong Nhi (Accounting major, Ca Mau Community College) said that the program helped her gain a deeper understanding of the role of communication to better perform her professional work and contribute to the community after graduation.

"Learn through play, and play through learning."

Building a safe and healthy learning environment is also a matter of particular concern to society. At Thoi Binh High School, the model for disseminating information on preventing school violence has been revamped. Instead of reading leaflets or listening to reports, students are introduced to information through short, engaging videos produced by the local police youth union. Here, students become active participants, frankly sharing their perspectives on the risks and harms of violence.

Trinh Thuy Duong (Class 11A1) expressed: " School violence , including harmful words, greatly affects psychology, causing many students to become depressed and their academic performance to decline."

Student Phan Nhat Thanh (Class 10A3) has drawn her own principle of behavior: "I understand that when faced with negative influences, I need to proactively share them with teachers and family to handle the situation appropriately, and at the same time, train myself to stay away from violence."

Captain Quách Tuấn Anh, Secretary of the Youth Union of Thới Bình Commune Police, informed: “Through propaganda, we provide the commune police's social media pages and hotline phone numbers. The goal is to help the children have official information channels to promptly report and prevent bad situations from the very beginning of potential risks.”

The Thoi Binh Youth Union also expanded the scope for developing students' abilities through the English "Ringing the Golden Bell" competition. With the theme "Young minds - Bright future - Young people with confidence, integrating into the future," this knowledge-based game show attracted 50 students to test their skills with multiple-choice questions and a direct Q&A session on integration issues.

Ms. Trinh Huyen Tran, Secretary of the Thoi Binh Commune Youth Union, shared: “The close cooperation with the school's English team in drafting questions ranging from easy to difficult, linked to everyday knowledge, helps us identify and nurture talented students in a timely manner, creating opportunities for them to maximize their individual abilities.”

This innovative academic playground has received a warm response from students. Bui Pham Khanh My (Class 11A4) excitedly said: "The combination of playing and making friends makes me extremely excited. I hope there will be similar competitions in other subjects."

Fifty students passionate about English had the opportunity to test their skills and participate in a Q&A session on the topic of integration.

These innovative approaches contribute to preparing the younger generation with the necessary skills and confidence to integrate into the global community.
