Through the program, the organizers hope to provide students with a playground to exchange and learn about careers with experts in the field of vocational education. At the same time, it contributes to promoting career orientation suitable to the abilities and interests of team members and students in grades 8 and 9, helping them to have a plan to equip themselves with knowledge and practice appropriate skills early. This is one of the new contents of the 2023 summer activities of the City Youth Union and the City Youth Union Council to be implemented at the facilities, aiming to improve the effectiveness of career guidance for young people in the new situation.

Students participate in career exploration playgrounds.

Participating in the program, students learn about groups of industries and occupations through games such as: Choosing the right career, looking at gestures to guess the career, stating the work of each career. At the same time, they take the test "ITALENT - choosing the right major" on the online platform JOBTEST (https://jobtest.vn) with the following contents: Discovering your personality, understanding personal interests and career passion, self-assessing your own abilities.

Students participate in career counseling and orientation at the program.

The highlight of the program is the consulting activity, answering questions about choosing a career between team members, students and experts, career goal planning activities about making a plan for themselves to nurture and pursue their favorite career in the future. Students can exchange, ask questions, listen to the sharing, and answer questions of experts about issues related to choosing a suitable career for themselves.

Students learn about careers at the program.

Experts have provided guidance to help students develop their strengths. For example, students who are good at natural sciences will be suitable for fields such as information technology, business, manufacturing, electromechanics, etc., while students who are good at social sciences will be suitable for fields such as tourism, communications, marketing, etc. Thereby, helping students identify and build short- and long-term goals, cultivate the knowledge and skills necessary to pursue and develop their careers in the best way.

Tran Nam Duong, a student at Giong Ong To Secondary School (Thu Duc City), shared: “By participating in the program, I have a clearer understanding of future career opportunities, which is that I can choose to study a suitable profession without necessarily going to university. I like the health and beauty industry, so the program helped me see clearly the shortcomings in my skills so that I can practice more.”

According to the organizers, the program has attracted nearly 1,000 team members and 8th and 9th grade students to participate after 3 events in Binh Chanh district, Hoc Mon district and Thu Duc city.
