FACULTY OF ORIENTAL STUDIES STRENGTHENS CORPORATE CONNECTIONS, EXPANDS CAREER OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS

On the afternoon of November 9, 2026, the Faculty of Oriental Studies at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Viet Nam National University Ho Chi Minh City, through the Chinese Studies program, organized an exchange, career orientation, and recruitment program with Haid Group. This activity contributes to strengthening the connection between the university and enterprises, helping students access the practical requirements of the labor market and expanding opportunities for career development.

Attending the program were Mr. Mac Ban Ky, Human Resources Director of Haid Group in Vietnam; Dr. Nguyen Thi Phuong Hao, Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Oriental Studies; Dr. Hoang Thi Thu Thuy, Head of the Chinese Studies program, along with faculty members and a large number of students.

Speaking at the program, Dr. Nguyen Thi Phuong Hao expressed her gratitude for the attention and partnership of Haid Group in career orientation activities for students. She emphasized the significance of strengthening the connection between university training and the corporate environment, creating conditions for students to apply their knowledge of language, culture, and professional skills into practice, and proactively adapting to the requirements of the labor market in the context of international integration.

During the exchange, representatives of Haid Group introduced the working environment, human resource needs, and training and career development paths within the multinational corporation. In particular, Mr. Mac Ban Ky emphasized that foreign language proficiency needs to be combined with professional knowledge and skills so that students can take on various positions, not limited to translation and interpretation.

Accordingly, students with a background in Chinese can continue to receive professional training to develop in fields such as business, administration – human resources, finance – accounting, procurement, and operations management. These insights help students gain a better understanding of the requirements for developing interdisciplinary competence and adaptability in an international working environment.

The program also dedicated time for direct interaction between business representatives and students regarding organizational culture, training policies, promotion opportunities, and benefits for fresh graduates. Notably, the direct recruitment interview activity at the program allowed students to experience the application process, demonstrate their Chinese communication skills, and access concrete job opportunities.

Through the program, the Faculty of Oriental Studies continues to affirm its orientation of linking training with practice, promoting foreign language proficiency and cultural understanding in a multinational professional environment. This is also a practical activity to enhance the participation of businesses in the career orientation process, contributing to improving the adaptability and competitiveness of students after graduation.
