At the Reimagine Gifted and Talented Education (RE*GATE) conference held on July 26 at VinUni University (Hanoi), domestic and international experts and scientists shared their research with manyeducators from many universities and high schools in the country.
The conference lasted all day, with many working sessions revolving around the topics of talent education and training.
Dr. Le Mai Lan, representative of the research team of VinUni University, shared the initial results of the study on the future of talented bachelors in the recruitment market.
Starting with the question "Do talented graduates have jobs?"
Dr. Le Mai Lan, Chairwoman of the Board of Directors of VinUni University, representing the university's research team (consisting of 5 scientists and 10 students), shared the initial results of the research on the future of talented graduates in the recruitment market that the team conducted.
The team surveyed 344 students from various universities, 35 leading large enterprises in Vietnam, and conducted 50 in-depth interviews with third-year students of VinUni University and corporate recruiters. According to Dr. Le Mai Lan, this is a meaningful activity that the school is implementing before the first enrollment class graduates at the end of the next school year.
The research team has consulted the research methods of many prestigious universities in the world to build a method suitable for the reality of the Vietnamese labor market, a toolkit of 40 skills of 4 important skill groups of a talent.
The first group is the skill of working with the brain (learning ability), the second is the skill of working with machines (the ability to apply technology), the third is the skill of working with others (with colleagues), the fourth is the skill of working with oneself. "The fourth skill is the most demanding skill, because understanding oneself, optimizing oneself, changing oneself... is the most difficult", Dr. Lan commented.
"Our research journey on this topic began with questions like: Do talented people in Vietnam have jobs after graduating? If so, are those jobs good? How are they paid? What will their careers be like?...
It is quite strange that there is very little published research on these things, although we have many specialized high schools and many universities that open undergraduate programs for talented people. VinUni is just a university that comes after and contributes to the training of that talent in Vietnam," said Dr. Le Mai Lan.
Future talents often expect one and a half to double their salaries.
The research results show many interesting contents, such as the issue of talented graduates' expectations about salary and the level of willingness to pay of enterprises.
"Recently, VinUni University has welcomed many delegations from Korea, Singapore, etc., with the aim of inviting talents to work in other countries with very high salaries. What about our country, how much are employers willing to pay per month for talents? Currently, we have not announced the specific numbers that the research team has, but the range is very wide, ranging from 5 million VND/month to 30 million VND/month. In some cases, it can be up to 50 million VND/month," Dr. Mai Lan shared.
Dr. Mai Lan added another noteworthy detail: talented graduates often expect their starting salary to be one and a half to double what employers are willing to pay. The difference between the two sides is between 6 - 15 million VND/month.
This does not mean that businesses refuse to pay high salaries (from 30 to 50 million VND/month). They are still willing to pay if talented graduates prove themselves. The income level is proportional to the outstanding talent. From there, the research team also posed the question (to find the answer) in their report: who will help them demonstrate all the skills they have when applying for a job?
