Career choice and future orientation have always been matters of concern for universities, families, and society. Career orientation helps individuals pursue work that aligns with their interests and abilities, thereby ensuring quality of life both materially and spiritually. An incorrect career decision can lead to discouragement, helplessness, stagnation, and loss of self-confidence.

Career orientation for students is considered an important initial step in the process of training and developing the nation’s human resources. With that significance, and on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Lac Hong University, the Faculty of Business Administration – International Economics organized the seminar “Career Orientation” for students. Additionally, to connect generations of students, the Faculty organized an Alumni Gathering.

The program opened with cultural performances presented by FAIE, creating a heroic and joyful atmosphere, including the dance “Hello Vietnam” and the performance “Vietnamese Heroic Spirit.”

At the beginning of the seminar, PhD Lam Thanh Hien – Rector of the University – delivered directive remarks. He emphasized the importance of career orientation and encouraged students to proactively seek information to choose the major most suitable for themselves. He also expressed gratitude to companies and enterprises for their cooperation and for receiving students for internships and employment in the future, wishing the leaders of companies and enterprises good health and sustainable development.

During the program, Vo Thai Sinh – Division of Enterprise Relations, Secretary of the Faculty Youth Union of the Faculty of Business Administration – International Economics – announced the decision to establish the Alumni Liaison Committee for the 2020–2025 term. With the operational motto: “Sharing information; connecting strengths; supporting mutual development; nurturing pride in the University and contributing to building and promoting the image of Lac Hong University,” the Alumni Liaison Committee of the Faculty of Business Administration – International Economics was officially established for the 2020–2025 term.

On behalf of the Alumni Liaison Committee for the 2020–2025 term, Mr. Truong Ba Manh Long delivered remarks. The launch of the Alumni Liaison Committee for the 2020–2025 term marks an important milestone in the implementation of the University’s strategic development. It is hoped that in the coming time, the Alumni Liaison Committee will operate effectively and achieve the objectives set by its Executive Board.

Midway through the program was a special mini-game session organized by the Executive Committee of the Faculty Youth Union – Student Association, offering entertaining activities with attractive prizes. The entire hall was enthusiastic and lively during the games.
