Female students in Ho Chi Minh City confidently participate in career counseling and guidance

On April 5, nearly 2,000 high school students in Ho Chi Minh City were present at Tan Binh High School (Tan Phu District) to participate in the program "Bringing school to candidates". Not only 12th graders, many 10th and 11th graders were also excited to ask questions to the advisory board.

Female student Gia Han, Hong Ha Secondary and High School, asked a question to Ho Chi Minh City University of Law. Although she cherishes the dream of pursuing a major in English, Gia Han still has a special interest in the field of law. She expressed her desire to learn about the parallel study program of these two majors at the school.

Female students excitedly asked questions for the program

Different from simple questions like: what major is easy to get a job? how to pass the university entrance exam? should choose a hot major or choose a major you love?,... The questions in the program "Bringing school to candidates" held in Ho Chi Minh City are more topical, in-depth and specialized.

The whole schoolyard burst into cheers when Phan Thai Xuan Nghi, Tran Phu High School, asked whether the US's imposition of a 46% tax would affect industries, including the logistics industry, in Vietnam.

Dr. Le Trung Dao, Vice Principal of the University of Finance and Marketing, said that the main concern of the current US administration is the large imbalance in the trade balance between the US and other countries. The fact that Vietnam is subject to a 46% tax rate will certainly create challenges and reduce its competitive advantage compared to other countries. Dr. Dao said that the Vietnamese government is actively and proactively implementing measures to adapt to this issue, so students need to stay calm.

School students asked a series of difficult questions about current issues that could affect careers, surprising the advisory board.

Arriving at Tan Binh High School early and also being one of the last students to leave, Khanh Linh enthusiastically watched the organizers prepare the program.

Khanh Linh is an 11th grade student at Nguyen Thuong Hien High School. Although Linh has chosen a major that will develop her future, she still feels that it is not enough and needs to hear more advice from experts.

"I am an active, outgoing, creative person, so I want to study public relations or journalism. Participating in the program is also a way for me to better understand the profession, and also an opportunity for me to "learn" how to organize a program" - Linh said with a smile.

Not only asking questions and asking for advice from experts, the female student also "kidnapped" the seniors in the organizing committee. Linh's main purpose was to better understand the qualities needed to become an event organizer, working in the field of journalism.

Khanh Linh attracts attention with her dynamism and personality.

After the program, the female student also took the opportunity to "kidnap" experts and members of the organizing committee to ask more questions about public relations and journalism.

Answering the question of Dr. Phan Thi Cam Giang, psychology expert, Head of Psychology Department - Saigon International University, about how to effectively build future goals, female student Minh Chau, a student of Nguyen Thuong Hien High School, made the whole school applaud because of her confidence and intelligence.

"I set goals for the future based on my own abilities and society's human resource needs. Although I'm only in 11th grade, I already have a career orientation for the future. My dream is to study journalism, but I'm still considering choosing a school," Chau said.

Female student Minh Chau confidently interacted on stage and presented many personal opinions.

Ms. Huynh Le Nhu Trang, Deputy Director of the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City, said that career counseling and guidance for high school students is an important factor in the process of orienting their future careers, helping students understand their abilities and interests so that they can choose a suitable and correct learning path that meets the needs of the labor market.

"In addition to providing career counseling and orientation for students based on their abilities and strengths, I hope that experts will introduce and provide clear advice on occupations that are in high demand in the labor market, especially occupations in the fields that are in need of a large number of workers in Ho Chi Minh City at the present time. New occupations and future development trends (information technology, artificial intelligence, renewable energy)" - Ms. Trang suggested.
