Students "practice" thanks to businesses deeply involved in training

(NLDO) - Close connection between businesses and training facilities creates a breakthrough in innovation in teaching content.

On November 2, at the National Economics University, the 2024 Labor Conference and the discussion "Enhancing training linked to practice, international integration contributes to improving training quality" took place.

Associate Professor, Dr. Bui Huy Nhuong believes that the close connection between businesses, socio-political organizations and training institutions creates a breakthrough in innovation in teaching content.

Speaking at the conference, Associate Professor Dr. Bui Huy Nhuong, Vice President of the National Economics University, emphasized the close connection between businesses, socio-political organizations and training institutions, creating a breakthrough in innovation in teaching content.

Enterprises demonstrate their responsibility in training their own human resources by ordering training, participating deeply in the training organization process, and providing feedback on adjusting teaching content to link it with practical work solutions.

"The participation of businesses and organizations in the training process is a mandatory factor, creating opportunities for students to clearly understand the requirements of the labor market, accumulate necessary knowledge and proactively enter the world of work" - Associate Professor, Dr. Bui Huy Nhuong affirmed.

Delegates affirmed that university programs must be more closely linked to reality.

Mr. Phan Minh Chinh, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Pro Sports Group, said that businesses really like candidates with "real-life" abilities. Therefore, schools need to create conditions for students to both study and "real-life" in the labor market.

Mr. Nguyen Huu Hieu, General Director of Fiin Group, wants training institutions to become "platforms" to create a launching pad for students in the future. However, in reality, current output standards do not pay due attention to students' practical experience.

"Many students are very confused after graduating, not knowing what it's like to work in an office, what the human resource management system is like, how to work with superiors, colleagues, and office discipline. In addition, the ability to work with artificial intelligence (AI) is indispensable, because AI is an irreversible trend. Before, we learned office computer skills such as Word and Excel, but now those things are outdated. So how to apply AI to increase productivity and create efficiency for society is something we have to think about," said Mr. Nguyen Huu Hieu.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Dung, Director of D&P Vietnam Tax Consulting and Agency Co., Ltd., suggested that university programs should be more closely linked to practice. Subjects should be designed to suit the actual needs of the labor market; enhance soft skills for students (such as communication skills, teamwork, time management). Organize internships for students at businesses earlier and schools should create conditions for students to try their hand at start-up projects...

Dr. Le Anh Duc said the school's training program will increase practical content.

In response to the opinions of many businesses/recruiting organizations that it is necessary to increase the "practical" nature of learners, Dr. Le Anh Duc, Head of Training Management Department, National Economics University, said that the school has included the subject "Practical Topics" in all regular university training programs applied from 2024 to increase the practical content in the training process. All regular university training programs from the 2024 course have the subject "Basic Data Science in Economics and Business" to equip students with basic knowledge and skills in data, technology, and engineering.

Mr. Le Anh Duc added that the school focuses on improving input standards through enrollment, attracting students with excellent abilities (in the top 10% of the best in the country).

In addition, the school also prioritizes students with English skills according to international standards. Specifically, in 2024, 70% of admitted students will have an IELTS certificate of 5.5 or higher, with an entrance score of 26 or higher.

With the output standards, the school requires students to achieve 5.5 before graduation with standard Vietnamese training programs; 6.0-6.5 with high-quality English training programs, POHE...
