In his opening speech, Deputy Director of the Center for Vocational Education - Hanoi Association for the Blind Nguyen Trung Thai emphasized that career guidance for the blind is not only a humanitarian activity but also "the key to opening up opportunities for integration, independence and self-affirmation". He shared: "A suitable career helps the blind have a stable income, but more importantly, it helps them find joy and meaning in life. With the support of social organizations, experts and the efforts of each person, barriers will certainly be narrowed".

At the program, students are introduced to basic knowledge about career orientation, including three core principles: Interests - Capacity - Social needs. Correctly identifying personal strengths helps blind people choose suitable jobs, avoid wasting time and resources, and increase adaptability in the modern working environment.
