Promoting innovative entrepreneurship through career counseling activities

The event is part of the series of events of the 7th National Student Startup Day, and is also a summary activity of the Government's Project 1665 on "Supporting students to start businesses by 2025".

In her opening speech, Deputy Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Thi Kim Chi emphasized that 2025 is a time of profound transformation, marking a journey of innovation in thinking and action of the young generation.

Starting a business starts with career and job counseling, helping students orient themselves properly and discover their potential.

This is also one of the important goals of the 2018 General Education Program - focusing on developing students' abilities and qualities instead of just imparting knowledge.

At the workshop, many delegates highly appreciated the positive changes in entrepreneurship education. Deputy Director of the General Education Department Do Duc Que said that in the period 2020-2024, the country recorded about 8,700 startup projects from high school students, a number that shows a clear change in students' thinking and actions.

Delegates also affirmed that teachers play a pivotal role in guiding, inspiring and equipping students with entrepreneurial skills.

Improving teachers' capacity in career counseling and entrepreneurship is a prerequisite for effectively implementing this activity in schools.

At the same time, it is recommended to build a specific cooperation mechanism between schools and businesses in consulting, career guidance and start-up activities, as well as propose personalized career counseling methods, suitable for the characteristics, abilities and aspirations of each student.

Concluding the workshop, Mr. Do Duc Que said that the 2024-2025 school year is the milestone to complete the first cycle of the 2018 General Education Program.

After the review process, the Ministry of Education and Training will continue to implement program development plans in a more systematic, in-depth and effective manner.

In particular, experiential activities, scientific research, and entrepreneurship education continue to be important pillars to help students develop comprehensively.
